mowerman-
Knine is right on. Anyting new for under $200 is likely going to be a useless POS.
Collar Clinic has an Upland Special(Tritronics) reconditioned for 200 bucks. The trainer appears to be an older model...which is good because you can get batteries for it. I hate the sound of their beeper and would remove it, but that is just me. As I understand it, the batteries on the G2 series are not available, so when your battery croaks...and they all do sooner or later... you have a hunk of useless junk.
That older TriTronicsis all the trainer you will ever need. I have a Tritronicsn Flyway Special which is essentially the same unit without the beeper and I have had it for over 20 years now. I have used it to train a bunch of bird dogs to the highest level. So can you, if you wish.
I would jump on the reconditioned unit it if I were you. You will not do any better than that.

Re: right brand ecollar
I have a Tritronics- purchased it thru this site from a member- dual collars- No complaints what so ever- but I had no complaints from my Dogtra except it was a one collar system and I added another dog. I think the cost was right at or just below the $200 mark.
