Troubleshooting Interference on the Alpha 200 Series Handheld

Conflicting IDs

Collars are automatically allocated ID numbers on open frequencies and channels when being added to the handheld. There are three main reasons you can get interference:

1. Frequency is overloaded, too many dogs on one frequency.
   • Space out the dogs on different frequencies and channels. 
2. Channel number is repeated or are listed too close together.
   • Try to space out the channels at least 5 apart on each frequency. 
3. Hunters in same area using the same frequency and channel.
   • When hunting with others check to make sure your dogs and handhelds do not have conflicting frequencies. 

Groups and Interference

Alpha® 200 series dog tracking handhelds have ability to add groups for hunters that hunt with multiple hunting partners.
