Yes nothing you can do there different radio frequency only thing to do is get an Eu collar to match the alpha then get an alpha from the USA and match the collar then sell on a unit, regards Wayne

Hi folks, having an issue with a french purchased Garmin Pro 550 Pro and TT15 mini collar in Ireland, worked great for a week and then went on the fritz. Handheld is fine but the collar seems to be goosed! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

To all the tight arsed Scandinavian hunters on here, just buy a Swedish Garmin tracker . In fact we are knee deep in various brands of tracking systems in Sverige.
The surprising thing is that if you buy a Nordic version you get a tracking unit that actually works in our northern climes as opposed to something you have to fiddle ,fanny about with just because you want to save a few kronor. Still you can always put your US Garmin on Blocket. There's bound to be someone out there who is tighter than you are. Hylte Lantman has good prices on Garmin trackers.

I deal with Garmin collars, handsets daily and this is what we know from experience
If you have a us version that is working, Don,t attempt a update it will wipe everything and it will not work, Garmin are regionally set, not to interfere with emergency services.
Standard tt15 and t5 collars if used regularly ( our customers hunt daily ) have a very short life span, the mini version seems to last longer.
Exchange Refurbished units are available from Garmin ( these are new units without charging cables) at less than half price.
Hand sets have a very good life span, damaged screens are the biggest problem, again a exchange refurb is available.
The same applies to all there products exchange units available
