FAQ

Can the Garmin Astro track collars that are paired up with the Garmin Alpha 100?

Yes, the Astro 430 will be able to see devices paired up with the Alpha 100 or any other Astro 430s. This is because the Astro 430 and Alpha 100 work on the same frequency, but you will not be able to see devices that are linked up with the Astro 220 or Astro 320.

What all collars can I pair up with the Astro 430?

The Astro 430 works with the DC50, T5, T5 Mini, TT15, TT15 Mini, and the TT10 collars. The DC50 will need to be updated before use. All of these collars when paired with the Astro 430 will be tracking only.

How many collars can I have paired up with my Astro 430?

You can pair 20 collars with your Astro 430. The Astro 320 was able to be paired up with 10 collars, but Garmin upgraded this ability with the Astro 430 and also changed the frequency that it runs on to the same that the Garmin Alpha 100 runs on too.
