Features of the Garmin ALPHA 300i + TT25 Combo
Interactive SOS and Two-Way Messaging
Should you have an emergency or accident, the Garmin Alpha includes InReach technology so you can send an SOS or other message via the Iridium satellite network from anywhere in the world (subscription required).
Download Detailed GPS Dog Trail Info
Map the area you and your dog covered during the day's hunt on your computer using the Waypoints and Tracks and Dog Tracks features on the Alpha Handheld. Download your hunt using either MapSource or Motionbased.com and see your hunt on a TOPO map or Google Earth.
Avoid Getting Lost with Hunter-Friendly Icons
Mark and label your vehicle, UTVs, blinds, hunting lodge, food plots, and other outdoor features with waypoint icons specially designed for hunting.
Keep Up with Birds Using the Covey Counter
Mark the exact location of your coveys on the map with this special waypoint feature and record the time of day, elevation, number of birds in the covey, and number of birds taken.
Additional Uses
Although the Garmin Alpha was originally designed for hunting dogs, many of our non-hunting customers have found that the Alpha is perfect for spending time outdoors with their dogs and allowing them to run off-leash. Whether hiking, camping, biking, or horseback riding, the Garmin Alpha gives your dogs more freedom while letting you keep a close eye on them and find them if they get lost. Since the Garmin Alpha is also a full-featured GPS, it will help keep you from getting lost as well!
Garmin ALPHA 300i + TT25 Combo Batteries
Li-ion batteries in both handheld and collar
Less than 6-hour charge time
Handheld and collar batteries both user-replaceable
Snap-on charging clip for no exposed charging jacks
Handheld Battery Runtimes:
~55 hours without InReach technology enabled
~50 hours with InReach technology enabled
Collar Battery Runtimes:
~68 hours with Dynamic Tracking
~25-84 hours with fixed update rates (depending on update interval)
Stimulation from the Garmin ALPHA 300i + TT25 Combo
18 levels of continuous STIM
18 levels of momentary STIM
Non-stimulating vibration and tone options
Choose from two stimulation configurations:
Traditional STIM -- 6 levels with each level having a low, medium, and high for a total of 18 levels, replicating the "classic" Tri-Tronics stimulation setup
Linear STIM -- 18 levels that exactly match the low, medium, and high levels used in Garmin / Tri-tronics PRO series collars for those who prefer a slightly faster way to raise and lower levels
Garmin ALPHA 300i + TT25 Combo Range
The Garmin Alpha handheld and collar have a "line of sight" range of up to 9 miles.
The Alpha handheld and dog GPS collar communicate using a VHF radio signal. To get the maximum range out of the system there needs to be nothing obstructing this signal.
Realistically, this won't happen in most places we spend time with our dogs, so the actual usable range will be MUCH less than 9 miles depending on hunting/training conditions, weather, terrain, presence of cover, etc.

The new Garmin Alpha 300 and Alpha 300i handhelds are the exact same unit except the 300i has inReach capability.
These new GPS dog-tracking handhelds are very similar in look and feel to the Alpha 200 models. It's the same case, size, and setup, but the 300 and 300i have new features to make them more user-friendly than the 200.
The Alpha 300 series have a better battery life, a better screen, and a better charging system.
The 300 series also has the ability to use WiFi to update both the handheld and collars, and the new menu interface is easier to use.
The Alpha 300 and 300i can track and train up to 20 dogs. The fastest fixed update rate is 2.5 seconds, but when using the new dynamic tracking, it'll automatically adjust the update rate based on your dog's activity. Less movement = longer update rate.
The Alpha 300 and 300i offer multiple map options including TOPO maps, Birdseye Direct satellite imagery, HuntView pre-programmed micro-SD cards, and Garmin Outdoor Maps+ (available by subscription).
They have 18 levels of continuous and momentary stimulation plus non-stimulating vibration and tone options. You can create custom setups for each dog, letting you set different stimulation levels based on each of your dog's needs.
New Features on the Alpha 300:
50-55 hours of run time on one full charge
USB-C charging port
Update handheld and collars using WiFi
Improved menu interface
Clearer, more detailed screen
Compatible with Garmin Outdoor Maps+ subscription service, which includes HuntView maps
Channel View allows you to see what collars are being used and what channel they're on
As far as collars go, we have two new tracking collars: the T20 and TT25. The T20 is a tracking-only collar, and the TT25 is a tracking and training collar.
New TT25 and T20 Collar Features:
Dynamic Tracking -- stretches battery life, giving up to 68 hours per charge
Multi-colored running lights with 7 color options
Replaceable flex band
Status indicator light changes to one of 4 colors depending on collar status
An orange-topped GPS antenna identifies the T20 collar as tracking only.
These collars are one size fits most -- it's not too big for your small dog, and not too small for your big dog.
The collars can now be updated using WiFi. When you plug them in to charge, they'll automatically check for updates and install them as needed using your WiFi network.
I have lost dogs for many days (without usage of a gps collar) and am very aware and appreciative of the longer battery life of this new collar to allow for long search times if needed. This system has a mode called “sleep mode” that allows you to put the collar to “sleep” and consume far less battery power. It is meant to be used when you are not actively tracking your dog. When you want to begin tracking your dog again you enter the “awake mode”. The issue that I confirmed with GARMIN helpline is that you must be in RF antenna sight line to wake the collar up. It is not commanded to wake via GPS. If you hunt in hilly country as I do it is likely that the dog will be out of RF range and therefore the collar will be stuck in sleep mode and useless to track your dog. The GARMIN product manual does not make it clear whether this mode is commanded via RF or GPS antenna. If it were via GPS then there would be very little limitation putting the collar into awake mode. As it stands I will not be using “sleep/wake” mode. I want others to know this limitation as well.
Pros
This system is working very well
Cons
Sleep/Wake mode limitations as described in my comments
