Tracking unit question

[mjadams]

Guys,

New to the tracking thing. I bought a older unit off of Ebay and it came with three collars. A wildlife, tracker, and a rat collar. The frequency is 217. How do I know how many collars my system will hold? I need three more collars because I have six dogs. I was thinking as long as the frequency is 217.1?? I should be able to track it? Is this correct. I have ten channel on the box 1-10. Any advice would be helpful. I see fairly decent deals on ebay and want to look for some collars but I want to make sure myu box will track them.

Take it easy

If your box will track 10 channels and the frequency is 217 then you can track track any collar with 217. ex. 217.123 , 217.133 , 217.143 , etc.

it should say something on the side of the box?

if your box is set up for 217.100 thru 217.200 and is a ten channel box then you can track one collar per bandwidth or channel. example ch.1 is 217.100 thru 217.110 you can track any collar in that range on that channel.

If you call wildlife direct & give them the frequency any collar is on 1 channel they can tell you the frequencies of the other channels on the box.

Hey

It looks like the frequecies i have now are 217.162, 217.125, and 217.156. Can I track freq. such as 217.225 and 217.005 and 217.995? Again, my box has ten channels. What are the three numbers after the 217. I know one is channel and one is tune but i don't know what the third one is or what order they come in.

Thanks in advance

the first two numbers are the channel numbers. the last one is the tune. if you got a ten channel box you can only track ten channels like 217.105,115,125 etc up to 217.195. most likely your box tracks in between 217.100- 217.199.

The box will have the freq. that it will track printed on the side of the box somewhere.
