DC50 —the Latest in Tracking & Training Collars from Garmin
Garmin is well known to hunters and hound lovers around the world for the quality and features it builds into its dog tracking collars and its tracking and training systems. Its collar-mounted receivers and handhelds are famous for innovation and durability, and its training systems are based on 40-years of proven Tri-tronics technology to assure reliable performance in the field.
The new
DC50 tracking and training collar just released by Garmin is the latest addition to the company’s stable of hound-management tools. Like the DC40 collar, it’s designed to work with Garmin’s Astro 320 tracking system, but the DC50 vaults ahead in performance by adding bark-detection and training functions, improved satellite coverage, better battery management, and a longer, more durable antenna.
Buddy Woodberry on the DC50 Collar
“Garmin’s DC50 is finally on the market,” says Double U’s Buddy Woodberry, “and from what we’ve seen, we’re pretty excited about what it can do. In our field tests, it way out-performed both the old DC30 and DC40 collars. The DC50 is GLONASS-enabled so users can connect with more satellites than before, and it comes with a 21”, braided-steel antenna that’s effective for up to 9 miles; that’s a 30% improvement over the DC40. Plus, it’s got bark-detection, which the DC40 doesn’t have, and it’s waterproof to more than 30 feet. We think our customers will be really impressed with the DC50 and the new capabilities it will give them.”
