Features of the Garmin ASTRO 430 + T5X Combo

High Visibility Design -- Orange handheld casing gives added visibility making the Astro 430 harder to lose in the field.
LED Beacon Lights -- Beacon lights are built into the T5X Astro collar for low light conditions or night use. Visible up to 100 yards.
Cross Compatibility -- The T5X tracking collar is compatible both with the Astro 430 AND Alpha handhelds. Note that the T5X will only have tracking capability when used with the Alpha. You can also track Alpha TT15X, TT15, TT15 MINI, and TT10 GPS collars with your Astro 430 handheld, although you won't be able to activate the remote training functions.
GPS and GLONASS Tracking -- The Astro 430 and the T5X collar utilize both GPS and GLONASS satellites for increased sensitivity. The T5X's top-mounted antenna gives you improved signal reception, and the antenna's orange color makes it easy to distinguish during competitions that don't allow stimulation, tone, or vibration.
AKC Competition Approved -- The AKC Performance Events Department has approved the Garmin T5X collar for use in pointing breed field trials and hunting tests.
Regular AND Long-Range Antennas Included -- You get both regular and long range antennas both for your Astro 430 handheld AND your T5X GPS collar. That's 4 antennas altogether! Configure your system to meet your specific needs.
Hunt Metrics -- Hunt Metrics dog performance data shows distance traveled, time afield and more so you can train your dog more effectively.
Rescue Mode -- When the battery on a tracking collar dies, finding a missing a dog gets a lot more difficult. When the collar battery drops to 25% life, RESCUE MODE changes the update rate to a 2-minute ping to extend battery life which gives you the maximum amount of hours to find a lost dog. Rescue mode is not the default setting. You have to turn it on under SETTINGS. I can't think of a good reason NOT to run your collar in rescue mode because there's no downside to using it.
Multi-Dog Tracking -- Track up to 20 dogs with additional Garmin T5X collars. Tracking range is up to 9 miles, delivering location data as often as every 2.5 seconds.
Preloaded Mapping -- The Astro 430 comes preloaded with TOPO U.S. 100K maps
MicroSD Slot -- You can use the MicroSD slot to add TOPO U.S. 24K, City Navigator, and more (each available separately), or add more memory by installing a blank MicroSD Card.
Live Laptop Tracking using BaseStation -- Using BaseStation, you can take your handheld while you're tracking dogs and plug it into your computer, letting you view your dogs on your laptop's screen. HOW TO: First download Garmin's Base Station Software. Then plug your handheld into your computer's USB port to see the Tracking screen on your computer. We've got guys that are working out of vehicles and they are tired of looking at a small screen all the time. They want to set up a computer in their vehicle and be able to view the tracking. You still use a handheld to track, but view your dogs on your laptop screen instead of a small handheld. Garmin says it'll track on the computer "real-time," but it's the same update rate that you have on your system -- 2.5, 5, 10, 30, or 120 seconds between updates.
Downloads -- Using the Waypoints and Tracks and the Dog Tracks feature from the Astro Handheld you can download your days hunt into your PC using either MapSource or Motionbased.com to see your hunt on a topo map or Google Earth. This allows you to see the ground that you and your dog actually cover in a day's hunt on a map.
Covey Counter -- The Garmin Astro also allows you to mark the exact location of your coveys using a special waypoint feature. This will allow you to place your coveys on a map and mark the time of day, elevation, number of birds in the covey and number of birds taken from a covey.
Icons -- Astro also comes with waypoint icons designed for hunting, letting you mark and identify additional waypoints such as your truck, hunting lodge, food plots, cover, ATVs and other outdoor-related features.
Additional Uses -- While the Garmin Astro is designed for the hunting dog, many of our customers that don't hunt but enjoy spending time outdoors with their dogs and allowing them to run off leash will find the Astro incredibly useful.
