Garmin Alpha 300 IK Handheld Only

Product information “Garmin Alpha 300iK handheld device” The Alpha 300iK could be described as the “big brother” of the popular Alpha 200iK. Visually and in terms of dimensions, the 300iK is practically identical, but on closer inspection it offers some exciting new features: New menu navigation The menu navigation has been reorganized, allowing even faster access to important items. Longer battery life A real advantage. With a battery life of up to 50 hours, the 300iK lasts more than twice as long as its “little brother,” the 200iK (with 15 hours). Channel View The most ingenious new feature of the 300iK! Especially with larger hunting groups and several dogs, radio channels can become congested. The Channel View screen clearly shows how many devices are transmitting on which channel. This makes it easy to switch to a less congested channel. The Alpha 300iK can locate up to 20 dogs. Communication between the collar and handheld device is via radio. The radio frequency used is free to use in Germany and does not require registration or fees. The terrain-dependent location range is up to 10 km with an update rate of up to 5 seconds. The buttons above the display can be used to trigger a sound, vibration, or LED flash on the K5X / T20K collar. The KT1X5 / TT25K collar also allows you to trigger a adjustable stimulation pulse (remote trainer function). A 3.5-inch touch display and additional function buttons offer even better usability than previous devices. The three hardware buttons above the display can be assigned any function. The assignment can be changed using the rocker buttons on the side. This allows the device to be operated perfectly and almost without restriction when wearing gloves. A pre-installed TopoActive map of Europe offers significantly more detail than the leisure map on Atemos devices. The map is updated regularly. The updates are free of charge! The 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter ensure even more accurate location results. The GPS position is now determined via GPS and Galileo. In addition to the ANT+ interface, the Alpha 300iK now also has a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi interface. This opens up completely new possibilities for connectivity with your smartphone and home network. BirdsEye aerial images of the desired area can be downloaded via Wi-Fi. The use of BirdsEye is now permanently free of charge! The Garmin Explore Mobile app allows you to check activities and edit waypoints directly on your mobile phone, for example. BirdsEye maps can also be downloaded directly to the device via your home Wi-Fi without having to connect it to a PC. Unlike the 300K, the 300iK also features the revolutionary inReach function. The handheld device can communicate worldwide via the Iridium satellite network, even in the most inaccessible terrain, or trigger an SOS emergency call in an emergency. However, this requires a paid subscription from Garmin. What is inReach InReach technology features global two-way communication and an SOS emergency button, among other things. Thanks to the Iridium satellite network, messages can be sent and received independently of the mobile network. LiveTrack also allows you to share your current tour with friends in real time. In an emergency, the SOS button can be used to send an emergency call to the international search and rescue coordination center GEOS, which coordinates the rescue. Garmin offers various subscription models for this added safety feature (see graphic). InReach technology is an option. All dog tracking functions also work without a subscription. Please note: The Alpha 300 is NOT compatible with the discontinued Garmin Basecamp software.
