What is a "REFURB?"
Refurbished products (aka "REFURBS") are units that were returned to Garmin, factory recertified, and thoroughly tested.
Totally brand new outer cases
Refurbished electronics inside, mostly taken from returns
Hand-tested to certify they are up to original spec
Full 1-year Garmin warranty
Garmin Says --
Garmin Recertified Devices are products that have been returned to Garmin for a variety of reasons. These returned devices go through a recertification process that includes an extensive testing procedure to bring them up to the same specifications as when they were manufactured as new, maintaining our high-quality Garmin standards.
A recertified device that is purchased from an authorized Garmin dealer will come with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
The T-5 relays the dog's position to the handler's Astro 430 with location updates as often as every 2.5 seconds. You can track up to 10 dogs on a single system. Add additional T5s as needed.
The T5 is a GPS TRACKING collar only -- no remote dog training collar features. The T5 can be used alongside DC-20, DC-30, DC-40, and DC-50 tracking collars. The T5 is also compatible with the Alpha 100 and PRO 550+ (tracking only). The T5 is NOT compatible with the Astro 220 handheld.
The Astro/T5 Combo comes standard with an orange collar strap. Additional collars come from the factory with a blue strap. We give you the option of 10 different strap colors: Orange, Black, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, White, Silver, Pink, or Violet so you can easily keep up with different dogs!
AKC Competition Approved
The AKC Performance Events Department has approved the Garmin T5 collar for use in pointing breed field trials and hunting tests.
Astro T5 Collar Hardware Features:
Beacon Lights
Integrated Beacon Lights give your dog added visibility in low-light conditions.
Orange Top Mounted High-Sensitivity GPS/GLONASS Receiver
The T5 features an orange GPS/GLONASS receiver to make it easy to differentiate T5 collars from other models. The GPS/GLONASS receiver antenna is on top of the dog's neck like on the old DC-30 but without the horrible nylon collar strap. Get better, faster GPS tracking with increased sensitivity.
Quick-Charge Li-ion Batteries
The T5 collar features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that gives a 24-48 hour run time depending on selected update rate. Charge time is 4 hours. The built-in battery life indicator lets you know when you need to recharge your collar.
Waterproof
The T5 Astro GPS Collar is waterproof to 1 ATM (10 meters)
Collar Battery Run Time Chart
~24 hours with 2.5 second update rate
~34 hours with 5 second update rate
~38.5 hours with 10 second update rate
~42.5 hours with 30 second update rate
~48 hours with 120 second update rate
It's really tricky to give exact run times on the Garmin Astro T5 because there are so many variables. Collar battery run time is most affected by update rate and whether or not you use the Beacon Lights.
One Piece Charging Cradle
The T5 has a charging clip just like the DC 40 and the TT 10, but unlike these two other collars, the clip is part of the cord and not a separate piece. One less thing to lose!
Collar VHF Antenna: Tough Braided-Steel
These whip antennas take all the abuse a hunting dog can give it in the rough terrain where you hunt. The T5 comes with a VHF antenna made from BRAIDED STEEL. This antenna is the same design used on the Alpha TT 10 and 15. We have really been pleased with these antennas, and they are very tough -- especially compared to the old designs on the DC 30 and DC 40.
Additional Long Range Collar Antenna
Also included in the T5 package is a 22 1/2" Long Range Collar antenna. This longer antenna provides additional range compared to the standard 18 1/2" antenna. The Long Range Collar Antenna is perfect for big running hounds.
Feed-through Collar Strap Design
The T5 collar strap is a feed through / collar belt loop style unit just like most e-collars on the market today. It does not require screws or a plate to attach the collar to the unit.
Coated Nylon "Glo" Collar Strap
Just like the DC 50, the T5 uses a 1-inch wide plastic coated "Glo" collar strap that is popular with most hunters and Field Trial dog owners. These straps hold up better than regular nylon or leather collars and come in 10 different colors so you can keep up with your different dogs. Choose an Orange, Black, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, White, Silver, Pink, or Violet collar strap. Fits neck sizes between 13-inches and 22-inches and features a solid K-9 metal collar buckle with metal keeper.
USB Port on Collar
Built-in USB Port allows easy software updates -- just plug your collar into your computer. Also can be used to export additional GPS dog data directly from your collar to your computer.
Astro T5 Collar Software Features:
Astro / Alpha / PRO 550+ Cross-Compatibility
The T5 is compatible with both the Astro 430 and 320, Alpha 100, and PRO 550+ handhelds (tracking function only with Alpha and PRO 550+). This now lets Alpha and PRO 550+ users who need a system they can use in competitions legally run T5 tracking collars. Also, folks that buy the Astro 430 with T5 collars can continue to use the T5 collars in the future if they ever switch over to the Alpha or PRO 550+ handheld.
Rescue Mode
When the battery on a tracking collar dies, finding a missing a dog gets a lot more difficult. When the collar battery drops to 25% life, RESCUE MODE changes the update rate to a 2-minute ping to extend battery life which gives you the maximum amount of hours to find a lost dog. Rescue mode is not the default setting. You have to turn it on under SETTINGS. I can't think of a good reason NOT to run your collar in rescue mode because there's no downside to using it.
Live Laptop Tracking with BaseStation: Track Your Dogs on a Bigger Screen
Using BaseStation, you can take your handheld while you're tracking dogs and plug it into your computer, letting you view your dogs on your laptop's screen. HOW TO: First download Garmin's Base Station Software. Then plug your handheld into your computer's USB port to see the Tracking screen on your computer. We've got guys that are working out of vehicles and they are tired of looking at a small screen all the time. They want to set up a computer in their vehicle and be able to view the tracking. You still use a handheld to track, but view your dogs on your laptop screen instead of a small handheld. Garmin says it'll track on the computer "real-time," but it's the same update rate that you have on your system -- 2.5, 5, 10, 30, or 120 seconds between updates.
Astro T5 Collar Dimensions:
Weight: 9.3 oz with collar strap and antenna
Height: 1.75 inches
Width: 3.5 inches
Depth: 1.85 inches
1" wide collar strap
Fits neck sizes between 13-inches and 22-inches
Not available to Canadian addresses. This product is approved for use in the US only. Collar to handheld radio communication may be disabled in Europe and other prohibited areas.
I have been using the Garmin Astro systems for over 15 years for my non-hunting, family, rescue dogs. I tried other systems years ago but none compare to the reliability of the Garmin Astros. I currently use the Astro 430 which lets me keep a good eye on where my dogs are on our hikes in the mountains. The handheld tells me how far away they are and the compass in the handheld shows me in what direction. The staff at Steve's Gun Dogs are very knowledgeable about this system and are happy to help with any questions you might have.
Pros
The Astro 430 is very reliable. The instructions provided make it easy to set up for one or multiple dogs. You can use regular or rechargeable AA batteries in the handheld. You charge the collars by plugging them into a socket or with a USB connection to your computer. I charge mine about every 5-7 days but it depends on your personal usage. The internal batteries in the collars last many years and are also replaceable. The collars are waterproof which is great for when my dogs want to swim.
The whole system is easy to use and provides you with a lot of information about your dogs--distance travelled, maps of where your dog has hiked and much more.

T5 collars for me all have the same performance level. No surprises. Run 6 as of now all perform the same.
Pros
Never had any problems. Oldest collar 3 plus years old.
Cons
Working range only about a mile at most for me. Nowhere near what the adds suggest.

This is a great product. It requires the handheld device in order to be tracked. It has worked reliably 96.3% of the time for me. This is a great replacement for a beeper or bell especially if a person is on the old side and hard of hearing. You only have to find a lost dog once with it and it will have paid for itself.
Pros
Reliable.
Quiet.
Durable.
Good technical service from Gundog Supply and Garmin.
Cons
Bulky.
Expensive.

The actual nylon collar is junk. they separate from the inside out in time. I use the old collars I have saved from years ago.

It became a wise move to purchase an extra T5......I knew it would be wise to purchase the collar from GunDogSupply, as past experience most often predicts future satisfaction.
The collar arrived quickly, performed as expected and GDS was an enabler par accellant, as Bob Fluharty used to say.

This is my third T5 tracking collar and have not had a chance to run the young pup with the collar yet since we are in middle of hunting season. Presuming it works like the other 2 its top notch for keeping up with the pack.

It's awesome to help keep up with our dogs ! Where we hunt there are like big blocks of woods our dogs get in some time and with the old trackers we used you had to go over here, then over there and just see where the dog might be this closest, these trackers let us know just about exactly were they are so we can get them back quicker!

Bought this collar to add with my others for my Astro 320. Thinking about upgrading to the Alpha next year, and even though the T5 doesn't have the shock capability, I can at least track with it until I can buy all new collars for the Alpha.

Review for Garmin T5 Additional GPS Dog Tracking Collar
November 10, 2015
I've been using Garmin Astro system for 10 years and have used everything from the DC10 through the new T5. The great thing about the T5 is significantly better range performance than prior models. In the Michigan woods, I was getting 400-700 yard performance out of my DC 40's. The T5 goes out past 850 yards no problem. Don't know the limits as my dogs have not gone that far yet. Lots of nice new features on the T5 compared to the DC's. It is however bulkier than I expected. Much more clunky than the DC 40. Much longer antenna. For my Ridgebacks, the extra bulkiness is not a problem, but overall the product is less slick and sleek than I would have expected from a 5th generation offering. Function is great. Garmin, you need to step up the form. Ten plus years into this and the latest iteration is clunkier than the first.
