The Garmin Astro is easily the best tracking system in the sporting dog market.  The collar receives an upgrade with the DC50 collar – a new and improved GPS dog tracking collar. The DC50 features a top mounted high-sensitivity GPS antenna to improve position performance. A braided steel VHF antenna, with additional length, reliably sends the dog’s position data straight to your Astro 320 handheld. As an added bonus, the DC50 will now incorporate innovative bark identification technology so that dog owners will know if the dog is barking even if they are out of audible range. This waterproof (up to 10m), rugged and reliable tracking collar has a range of up to 9 miles, delivering the dogs position as often as every 5 seconds. Plus, it can track up to 10 dogs at the same time (with purchase of additional DC units) on one Astro 320 handheld, and features a long-lasting rechargeable, replaceable battery with rescue mode to prolong the battery life. 

The Garmin DC50, when sold separately, ships with a durable 1in blue polyurethane adjustable collar strap that fits most dogs. When sold as a bundle with the Astro 320, a 1in orange polyurethane adjustable collar strap is included. Additional replacement collar straps are also available in multiple colors (sold separately). The DC 50 will only work with the Astro 320 handheld – it is NOT compatible with the Alpha or Astro 220.
