I haven't been following this post too much, soooo many things to do, so little time!!!  If someone has already mentioned these, please forgive me...

 

There is an Icom model IC-R10 that my husband's friends use for tracking the hunting dogs.  (They have been hounding him to get one).  So, I finally ordered him one for about 300 dollars.  It has many, many frequencies.  It is a handheld model.  I think you can get an antenna for less than 100.  I can't remember the number of collars that can be programmed into it (by name or code, etc).  From what I understand, you can buy any brand of collar.  It wouldn't be a bad idea to get just one reciever and split the cost with a group of people.

 

I'll try to remeber and let you guys know how it works.
