What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Garmin Long Range VHF Antenna for significantly boosting communication and tracking range, especially in challenging environments like dense forests or mountains. This enhanced reliability is seen as a critical safety and operational upgrade for the Group Ride Radio system. While installation is simple and compatibility is excellent, the premium Garmin pricing is a noted drawback for some users. Additionally, the necessary increased length makes the antenna slightly more prone to snagging. Despite these minor concerns, users consider this antenna an essential performance enhancer that unlocks the system's full potential, making it a highly recommended investment for serious adventurers.
Know before you buy
No, this specific antenna is engineered exclusively as a direct replacement for the TT 10 and DC 50 tracking devices. It is not designed for use with other Garmin dog tracking collars.
While exact performance varies based on terrain, vegetation, and elevation, this 22 1/2-inch antenna is designed to provide a significant boost in range compared to the standard, shorter antennas that come stock with the devices.
The antenna is constructed from durable, flexible fiberglass specifically to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. It is designed to bend rather than snap when your dog navigates through dense brush or heavy cover.
No special tools are required. The antenna is designed for easy, straightforward installation so you can quickly get your tracking device back in the field.
Because the antenna is flexible, it typically does not interfere with the dog's movement or comfort. However, keep in mind that the 22 1/2-inch length is longer than the original equipment, so it may be more noticeable depending on your dog's size and activity level.
