Tracking Range Clarification

Garmin’s 9-mile tracking range claim is based on ideal, unobstructed conditions. In practice, terrain, vegetation, and weather often reduce this to 1-3 miles. To maximize range:

• For the Device: Use our Truck Antenna Whip for vehicle-mounted tracking or extended range handheld antennas.

• For Collars: Equip collars with Tuff Skin 2.0 antennas to enhance signal strength.

Maximize Your Tracking Range

Boost your Garmin Alpha XL’s performance with our Truck Antenna Whip, designed for vehicle mounting to extend tracking range in challenging terrains. Unlike Tuff Skin 2.0 antennas, which enhance collar signals, the Truck Antenna Whip connects to the Alpha XL’s SMA port to improve device range.

Key Benefits of the Truck Antenna Whip:

• Extended Range: Significantly increases tracking distance, ideal for large hunting areas.

• Durability: Built to withstand rugged outdoor conditions.

• Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with the Alpha XL’s SMA connection and other Garmin devices, VHF/Marine, and CB radios.
