I see most all collars advertise a maximum range of 7-12 miles on a perfect line of site. Does anyone actually get this kind of range? I have uses F&L and Wildlife receivers, wildlife, F&L, Johnson and other collars. My hunting buddy has always uses wildlife equipment. I have never seen more that about 4 miles under actual hunting conditions when in the mountains, or in the sagebrush. I have placed the collars on fence posts and driven straight away and at about 4 miles the last collars will fade away. The roof top ant. seldom picks up anything more than a mile away. What has been your real range and what brand of equipment are you using? Thanks in advance.

I generally get about 1.5 - 2 miles with my quicktrack qtr-10 using qtr collars and yagi antenna, though the quickshot antenna seems to have a slightly shorter range. But I hunt okefenokee swamp in GA, and it's pretty thick. My buddy has a booster on his qtr-6000, and it'll go an extra mile or 2.

Thats about the range I have experienced. Is anyone getting those long distances that the manufactures are advertising?

if i had to guess the manufacturers are testing them on water, just like a radio way better range.
i run garmins and tracker maxima with intello collars and very rarely does any of them put out a fraction of the range ive heard about. advertising sells. im sure happy to have them most of the time though. LOL.
