I've had the Alpha for about a week now, been out 4 times with it. Initially I like the unit. I had a tritronics G2 Upland exp with a beeper and liked it but in the thick woods especally hunting grouse there were quite a few times I lost track of my dog for awhile, she can get out of hearing range very quickly. I like the peace of mind I get from the Alpha knowing where the dog is and I can actually leave the dog hunt better rather than calling her back so I know where she is. I havn't got used to holding the handheld unit yet to see where the dog has gone. Everything has worked as advertised so far with no problems.That being said there are a few things I would change. One thing is the dog alerts I have setup to tell me when she,s on point. It takes about 15 seconds after she goes on point before I get an alert, and I only get one alert no matter how long she is on point. I guess I kind of miss the beeper with my old unit although it could be annoying when she was hunting close. I don't like the charging adapter for the TT 10 collar, sometimes it doesn't make contact until you wiggle it a littleit could of been designed better especially for the price of the unit. Garmin is a good name and I have 2 other gps units by garmin and I like them but thier website sucks, it freezes, is hard to navigate. Tritronics, IMHO is the best name in the dog traning arena and these 2 companys worked together on this unit. I got this unit on a 30 day trial bases, at this time I am probably going to keep the unit. This does so many things that I havn't figured out yet. I thought the long antenna on the collar may be restrictive for the dog but she doesn't seem to mind it too much, I saw her once or twice biting at it when it would touch her side, but that was in the first hour of wearing it since then she seems ok with it. They claim 9 mile range with this unit but here in cental PA I don't think it will go quite that far, I had my wife jump in the car and go for a drive with the collar, she got about 4 miles away and dropped down into a deeper small hollow and I lost track of her on the map screen but I could still operate the training portion of the collar and when she came out of the hollow I picked her up again on the map, The fartherst she went was about 5 miles, pretty impressive to me. I intend on returning and updating this review after I have had the unit for awhile. This is a little on the pricey side but we all love our dogs so much it gives you peace of mind. I only have 1 dog but I can see the value in this unit if you run a pack of hunting dogs together this unit would be worth every dime. UPDATE-11/23/2012I've been out about 20 times now and I LOVE this collar, I miss that anoying beeper less and less. The battery life is great, the gps tracking dead on, and now I can find my truck everytime too. I have not had any problems with the unit at all although I dread trying to use Garmins website for updates, I constantly have problems with thier website.If you can afford it and love your dogs I would highly recommend purchasing this unit. UPDATE2/20/2013Hunting season is over here. I have had an issue twice with this unit. The collar would just turn itself off, this happened only twice to me. I started researching and found on Tri-tronics forum it was happening to others too but only occasionally, then about a month ago Garmin answered a question I sent to support about the issue saying that if you wear a second collar on the dog behind the Alpha 100 and the metal part of the collar touches the charging terminals it will shut down the unit. They reccommend either wearing the second collar in front of the Alpha or put electrical tape across the charging terminals. This has only happened to me twice and I havn't changed anything about the way I wear it on my dog. I still think it is a great unit, but as I said before they could have done a better job on the charging terminals.

I have used a Garmin GPS and Tritronics Pro series collar for the last few years. I found the system to be very intuitive, easy to set up and use. Can't beat the simplicity of an integrated system. Great battery life. Only thing that could be a little better is light placement on the collar it tends to get hidden in a long haired dog.

I love in an area where there are homes but right in my backyard are thousands of acres of wilderness. It is great to have the ability to know that the dogs are out running in the wide open and not in someone's back yard. PS no leash law in the area.

I purchased this because of it's range and versatility. It has exceeded my expectation. I can track more than one dog and switch the collar between two dogs effortlessly. The GPS is very accurate. I am still learning the features.

I have a pointer that runs big. The Garmin Alpha GPS Track and Train System gives me confidence that I know where my dog is and I can control her. It's a lot more fun now.
