Jim,
Very nifty device, but pricey as with all things Garmin.
Looking at the spec sheet, there doesn't appear to be data in or out
for the handheld unit, only a power adapter.
The next thought I had was what data format is the 'collar' unit
transmitting back to the handheld unit? This isn't listed on the spec
sheet, but if it is standard NMEA, I would think you would be able to
receive it on your 2-meter, than output it to a laptop. That's a lot of
IF's.
Why not make up a little waterproof beacon with a TT3?
I am sure more guys on here will have many more ideas then I.
Cheers,
Nick

Many thanks to Curt and Wes for the great efforts. The I can track
the Rino using Xastir and the perl script. The carrier of the remote
Rino just needs to remember to key the mic or the call button.
So what does anyone know about the Garmin Astro. It is sold to track
hunting dogs. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=209&pID=8576
Any opinions as to whether or not it might work with Xastir?
Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!! ........................... jt
