Exactly,u can't tell. It will depend on the terrain and thickness of the woods. It will be one of those
things u have to get experience with to know.

The only thing I can recommend is trying to turn down the volume and playing with the squelch. I had one of these systems, and did not like it. I prefer Tracker, Quick Track, or Wildlife. in that order. The Tracker fits into pouch when your not using it. You now can get an external adapter to use your Yagi with. Quick Track has a built in AMP. Wildlife is bulkie, but has lead the industry for many years. All 3 systems are great, just depends on what you want and like.

I have a Icom R-10 that I use a GRE super amp on. And when used with Quick Track or Magnum collars I get plenty of range in the mountains here in western Arkansas. And as for range estimation it something that comes with experiance.

I use a AOR8000 scanner (they can be found on ebay) and can track any dog collar on any freq with ease.
