Steve Snell’s Gundog Blog

I really like the Garmin 220 & DC 30’s that I got from you, but Garmin needs to come up with an easy way to differentiate between the collars such as color codes……..since both are black, the only way I can tell the difference is the original collar has a square end, and the additional collar has a pointed end…….that’s pretty low tech for something that costs $200.   

I have been looking for a solution but I have not found one I really like.  My current trick is that I have attached different colored Zip Ties to each collar.  I go around the collar next to the antenna. The issue there is getting something that would slide over the GPS antenna.  If it’s big enough to do that then it’s going to flop around and get ripped off. I see what you are saying, but I expect it would come off the end too easy.  I am looking for something that will stay on and take the abuse that these collars get. — Steve
