Contact System

Contact System (receiver, collar and hip holster)

Contact Tracking System was developed with the serious hunter in mind focussing on ease of use, durability and practicality.

* ContactRxThe receiver is arguably one of the smallest and lightest on the market, measuring only 180mm x 40 mm x 600 mm with the antenna fully extended! It weighs only 280 grams.
* This is the receiver that you will definitely take with you, no matter how tough the terrain. It comes with its own cordura nylon belt holster or a waterproof case to ensure you have it with you at all times.
* The system has 100 channels, allowing you to run with as few or many dogs you want. As you or your mates needs change you simply add collars, no need to replace the receiver with a larger model.
* Most importantly they have sorted out the key difficulty hunters have when trying to locate dogs that are relatively close, is the dog in front of me or behind me? The ease of directional location makes it very clear where the strongest signal is coming from…every time.
* The receiver has an inbuilt frequency adjuster, to allow the user to check that the collar transmitter has not changed frequency due to extreme temperature variations.
* It also comes equipped with a jack to allow the use of headphones.

Contact Tracking Collars

* Contact&transThe tracking collars are constructed of high tensile strength ABS, designed for use in the toughest of conditions and are fully waterproof. We have never had a transmitter housing returned broken!
* They come standard with an inbuilt motion sensor, designed to assist hunters who track their dogs as they are hunting. When the dog is running the number of pulses from the collar increases. When the dog stops, the collars resume their normal pulse rate. Now it is simple to tell if your dog is in trouble or actively hunting!
* Turning the collars on or off is done via an infrared beam built into the end of the transmitter.
* The collars use a single 3.6 volt AA lithium battery, giving approximately 400 hours use before replacement.
* Bark indicator is also available as an optional extra.

Contact Tracking Range

* ContactAquaAll tracking systems are subject to the same laws of physics and performance will be affected by thick scrub, forest, large hills and electromagnetic influences.
* The system has been tested at over 10 kilometres in thick & hilly country, which is more than twice the distance a hunting dog will travel in this terrain in 24 hours
* Because the system operates in the UHF bandwidth (433 MHz), it has better punch through power than older technology operating in the VHF band (151 MHz).
* Tracking system users should note that NO radio tracking system can guarantee to receive radio signals in ALL situations. If you lose signal, you need to move to higher ground.
