This antenna is perfect for folks that need longer range for their big running bird dogs and hounds. The beauty of this antenna is that when it is closed, it still gets better range than the standard antenna. When you need more range, all you do is extend the antenna out to a maximum of 3 1/2 feet and you will get better range in those heavy cover and rolling terrain situations.

Astro 220 extended range antenna Reviewed: October 7, 2011
Ultra fragile! Tubing has a very thin wall. Telescoping unit snapped off at the base with minimal pressure. I purchased two of these units with the same result. I love the Astro system but these antennas are pure junk!
Perfect for folks that need longer range for their big running bird dogs and hounds.
Garmin developed this portable long range antenna especially for the Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking system. This accessory is designed to increase the range of the hunter's handheld receiver. When a dog travels outside the Astro's range, the antenna can be lengthened to 3 1/2 feet and attached directly to the Astro 220 via a 1 meter (approx. 3 ft.) coaxial cable.
The antenna features a molded handle and lanyard, and measures just 10.5" long when stored -- small enough to be carried in a hunting vest when not in use.
Specifications:
Length collapsed: 10.5"
Length extended: 42"
Coax cable length: 1 meter
Antenna weight: 2.4 oz.
Antenna weight w/ coax and handle: 7.9 oz.
SMA connector
CAUTION: Using this external Astro antenna near high-powered radios
may cause permanent damage to your Astro. Keep this antenna at least
one meter away from other transmitting antennas.
