Please let the sanctioning bodies know how you feel about allowing the Garmin Astro 220 DC 30 GPS Tracking Collar for field trials, pro or con. The less than 5 ounce rule for the transmitter that all three bodies proscribe in various forms was formulated when e-collar receivers were heavier; the new TroTronics G-2 weighs only 2.3 ounces.

Please tell them what you think, for or against, by e-mailing to all three:


AKC

American Field
