Could not get a pic to post on Masterfox, however pic of the "Hitch-Hiker" are on several of the coon hunting website message boards. Go to UKC website and look under vendors on their message forum and pic can be seen or send me an email and I will email a pic.
Thanks
If running a regular tracking collar as a back up to your DC40 eliminate a collar by adding the "Hitch-Hiker" to your DC40 collar.
Lots of hunters that run the outside are going to the "Hitch-Hiker". If concerned how this transmitter will work along with the DC40 give me a call and I will give you names of people to call that have been using the "Hitch-Hiker" since day one.

If running a DC40 and also a regular tracking collar this will eliminate one collar by combing both the DC40 and the "Hitch-Hiker" on one collar. Plus running just one collar only adds 3.2 ounces of weight instead of 10.

Just received a call yesterday from a guy in LA inquiring about the "Hitch-Hiker" that lost a hound to drowning . The DC40 signal was lost and he was able to recover the hound by the "beep-beep" collar transmitter that was also on the hound. Just one of many reasons more and more hunters are going back to running both transmitters on their hounds.
If concerned about those " ? " that keep popping up on your Garmin handheld take the worry out by addding this little transmitter to your dc40 collar and get that extra security for your hound.

Thanks to the ones that have puchased the 'Hitch-Hiker".
Can they be run on the collars for the Alpha system and what is the range on these transmitters
Countyline Kennels
Sorry,these cannot be mounted on the Alpha system collars, they were developed for the DC40. As for the range this transmitter will get around the same distance as a typical tracking collar( Johnson,QT,Rats,Wildlife).
Thanks
Anyone knows on what frequency the DC40 transmits? I am using a DC40 with Astro 320 and I have an idea to hack into the system and instead of watching the data on a handheld, throw it to a computer screen... anyone done that before?

Lots of outside hunters running these little transmitters as a back-up to the Garmin system for that added ability to find their hound if communciation w/Garmin is lost .
Thanks to all that have purchased the "Hitch-Hiker" since it introduction earlier this year.
