Mine work fine - Alpha 100 and two collars. Their web-chat option is good. I asked the question and screen-shot their answer at the time.
You have obviously not searched the massive resource that SD forum provides and read my post:
If you have ever wondered whether Garmin Trackers are worth it............
Having owned 5 Vizslas and trained/worked my current bitch Ruby as a deer dog I "foolishly" took on a Teckel puppy in August to bring on a blood tracking dog. Thankfully, I had only ever lost one deer before I started stalking with a dog but I always now work the vizsla onto a shot animal every...

Garmin T5 or T5 mini for Teckel and Viszla
Yup, you are right. After discussions with Keith, this is what I bought from Pecheur. It is the CE European version (French packaging) and both of mine are registered with Garmin for warranty purchases and I’ve also activated the one-year free Birds-eye mapping too - works well with a new more...

Don't think he does 'mini' collars
Does the Alpha 200i with TT collars work? According to Garmin UK they don't sell the TT collars in th UK and they won't work?
I think it's a Garmin UK policy not to sell in UK as I was told its against the law. When I pointed out it isn't they quickly changed tact to said its because of the transmitted frequency.
They would not contact Garmin USA and the only details I can find are for Garmin UK. I will look on another device for the details!!

I have a UK spec one for sale on the classified

As I pointed out in the link in my post #4 above, the Pecheur stock is CE approved and uses the EU-approved frequencies. These were acceptable to OFCOM prior to BREXIT and I have not been able to find any UK-specific changes imposed since then. Moreover, you can select the actual frequency to be used by both collars and handsets so I have set mine to one which is OFCOM-approved for the system's purpose. However, I went down this route as I needed a T5mini for my Teckel and these are not available in the UK from any source and @Keith Edmunds was good enough to provide me with the benefit of his experiences with dealing with Pecheur.
Remember, that import charges are payable on top of Pecheur's prices so my ALPHA 50 and T5Mini bundle actually cost me a total of £818.34 (£662.45 handset/collar bundle, £9.50 International DPD shipping, £141.39 Import VAT and £5 DPD handling fee). It certainly wasn't cheap but at the time it was the only way I knew to get to get a non-US T5Mini cheaply (US frequencies are not legal in the UK). Knowing what I now know, I would have bought a UK handset and bought only the collar from Pecheur given the VAT/Fee charges.
Sorry Paul, I missed the TT bit. I think Garmin have decided to stop the sale of TT collars in the UK given Scotland/Wales law changes and England's announced position on shock collars. For tracking collars (single T of K), the key issues is that the devices are set by Garmin to regional frequencies. US-sourced items will work in the UK but they operate in frequencies authorised by OFCOM to other uses (inc emergency services) so are illegal under the wireless telegraphy act. As I stated in post 10, if you secure CE versions, there are no issues with these as you can set them to OFCOM approved frequences.
Thanks, I understand the frequency issue. It may be that I have to get a UK handset and a K5X collar and then get a TT15 from France.
I didn’t buy one. I am still using my other Trackers.
