Dogtra Pathfinder GPS Antenna Upgrade Guide — Xtenda Range Antennas
Upgrade your Dogtra Pathfinder GPS dog tracking range to 10–20 miles with Xtenda Range ground plane antenna technology. Works with Dogtra Pathfinder and Pathfinder Mini. No modification to your handheld required.
The Dogtra Pathfinder Range Problem
Dogtra advertises the Pathfinder at 9 miles under ideal conditions. In timber, brush, and broken country, real-world range drops to 1–2 miles. The hardware is solid — the stock antenna is the bottleneck. A ground plane receiving antenna on your vehicle changes everything.
