Can the Garmin Alpha 100 track a DC50 collar?

Yes, the Garmin Alpha 100 handheld can track a DC50 collar, but there are a few steps that you have to do and it’s not as simple as adding a T5, TT10, or TT15 collar. The first step is to update the DC50 to the newest available software update. The newest update gave the DC50 the ability to communicate in the correct MURS frequency with the Astro 430 and Alpha 100 handhelds. Next, you are going to need to use an Astro 430 to get the tracking code for the DC50. To do this pair the DC50 to the Astro 430, then go into the collar details and get the tracking code. Final step is to manual pair the DC50 with the Alpha 100 by entering the tracking code.
