Question 1

What GPS systems are Xtenda Range Antennas compatible with?

Accepted Answer

Xtenda Range Antennas are tuned to match your choice of Garmin (TT15, TT25, T5, Alpha 100, Alpha 200, Alpha 300), eSEEK, and Dogtra Pathfinder GPS dog tracking systems. VHF radio antennas are also available with custom frequency tuning for any hound radio.

Question 2

How much does the Xtenda Range Antenna extend my GPS tracking range?

Accepted Answer

Houndsmen across the USA, Canada, Australia, and Germany have reported tracking their dogs from 2 to 20 miles using Xtenda Range Antennas, depending on terrain, foliage, and atmospheric conditions. In open country and flat terrain, ranges of 15–20 miles are common. In dense timber and mountains, most hunters see 2–8 miles — still far beyond any stock or handheld antenna.

Question 3

Does the Xtenda Range Antenna work in dense timber, mountains, or thick brush?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Ground Plane design maximizes signal in all terrain. In dense timber, canyons, or rolling hills, most houndsmen report 2–8 miles of reliable tracking. Open terrain and elevated vehicle positions (truck roof, ATV rack) can push 10–20 miles. The antenna always outperforms stock and handheld antennas regardless of terrain.

Question 4

How long does shipping take and do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Orders ship from Arkansas, USA. Domestic orders typically arrive in 3–7 business days via USPS or UPS. International shipping is available to Canada, Australia, Germany, and other countries — shipping times vary by destination. Contact wade.houndrecoveryantennas@gmail.com or call (870) 807-2119 for international shipping quotes.

Question 5

Can the Xtenda Range Antenna be used with VHF radio hound tracking systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hound Recovery Outdoors offers VHF Radio Antennas with custom frequency tuning for any hound radio system — including triple mag, super 7 ground plane, and permanent mount options. Enter your VHF frequency in the order comments at checkout and the antenna is tuned specifically to your radio.

Question 6

How do I install the Xtenda Range Antenna on my truck or ATV?

Accepted Answer

The Triple Mag model uses a triple-magnet base that snaps onto any metal surface — truck roof, tool box, or ATV frame — with no drilling required. Run the included 18 ft coax cable from the antenna to your GPS handheld inside the cab. The Universal Mount model can be permanently bolted anywhere with self-tapping screws or U-bolts. Both styles connect to any standard SMA antenna port.

Question 7

Does the Xtenda Range Antenna come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Xtenda Range Antenna is backed by a 6-month warranty against manufacturer defects. Contact wade.houndrecoveryantennas@gmail.com with your order number and we will make it right.

Question 8

How does Ground Plane Technology improve dog GPS tracking range?

Accepted Answer

The Xtenda Range Antenna uses 4 Ground Plane Antennas that, when mounted on any metal surface like a truck roof or ATV frame, transform that surface into a high-performance antenna reflector. Signal radiates in a wide omnidirectional pattern, dramatically extending GPS tracking range beyond what any stock or handheld antenna can achieve. The larger the metal surface, the stronger the reflective effect.
