Our testers have achieved excellent tracking results with our new long-range antenna - reporting as much as 2-3 times the normal range of the standard Garmin or Dogtra antenna (actual results will vary depending on conditions and terrain). Built to withstand tough hunting conditions, this antenna is sturdy enough to hold up to harsh elements. The convenient handle not only helps protect the base of your antenna when it is extended, but it features a comfortable smooth-touch grip. Available in vibrant color choices, your unit is easy to locate in the field (choose black, hunter orange, or hot pink). It is also available in a glow-in-the-dark option (see GVLRAnt-Glo). The included telescopic metal antenna is a convenient 8.5 inches when folded and provides excellent tracking results, but extends to 42.5 inches when hunting conditions require maximum range. The metal antenna also features a rubberized flexible base that provides enough "give" to help protect your antenna. The metal antenna is also removable and replaceable (replacement antennas sold separately - see Flex42-BNC). The included flexi-cord is lightweight, easy to manage, and is approximately 40" in length to accommodate any hunting environment.
