Anybody having range problems with there g2 collars? Also not holding a charge very long.
Any help would be appreciated. Ran classic 70s forever trouble free not impressed with 1 year old g2s at all.

I have the Classic 70 G2. I don't know what the G2S unit is. I haven't had any trouble with my classic 70 G2. The charge on mine last for a very good while.

I bought the G2 system when it first came out. Not had the first problem with range or charging. I couldnt tell you the last time I charged mine. Id say its been 3 months or longer. Call em they'll make it right.

My Trashbreaker G2 is back at Tritronics for the second time in a month for range problems. There is quite a few people that are having range problems with the G2.

How are you guys checking the range. I guess you could have someone walk a good distance and then have the other person hit the tone feature. Is that how you're checking it. I'll have to try that and see how mine are working.

Joey , I live about 500 yards from where i run........They aint hitting but only on 1 of 3 collars.
My dogs handle like mack trucks anyhow and i need all the help i got to get em in...Just called tritronics and they told me what to try. We will see tonight.

Like JC I bought one of the first g2 exp units that came out. I leave the collars in the garage for weeks at a time and have never run down enough for it to tell me to recharge. Joey, We have range tested using two way radios and a truck. My buddy had a bad transmitter that would not work at 100 yards. I programmed his receivers onto my transmitter and they were still working at close to 1.5 miles, so we knew his transmitter was bad. He told TT what we had done and they sent him a new tx unit and a box with a sticker to send back the bad one. Maybe I have been lucky, but when I store them on the chargers it seldom takes more than 10 minutes for the full charge lights to turn green.

I sent a G2 with 5 collars back to TT and they should have it today. Transmitter problem.

I bought the G2 system when it first came out also and like J C, I have never had any problems with mine and they seem to hold the charge forever. I have one dog that can take more charge than the others and at first I thought one of mine was not working until I switched them around on the dogs and found out that the dog was just tough and the collars were working fine. Most of the time I don't have to go above #2 unless I have to hit my little bitch with the tough neck.

I have to hit my big male on #2 for him to come in sometimes. I try really hard with the tone first. Then I result to shocking.

The females it's #1 and they yep as if someone shot them. But I always tone first the last thing is shock.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE RANGE OF G2 EXP ALSO. I SEND THE STICK BACK TO TT, SHOULD BE BACK TO IN WEEK OR SO,THEN I SEE IF MADE IN DIFFERENCE.

Fletch

just went out and tested mine after reading this.got a tt trash breaker g2 exp.conclusion is their just that TRASH.couldnt get it to tone or shock at a half mile worked good at about 200 yards.Looks like ill be giving them a call this week to send mine back.. anyone know of another brand that gets 2 mile range that is rugged and reliable

The 2 mile range advertised is 2 miles..... LINE OF SIGHT. Your range gets considerably less as the terrain becomes more diverse, (hills, rocks, thick cover, etc, etc).

hmmmm you guys got me thinking. I just might walk down the street One full neighborhood block and have someone hit the tone button and see if I can hear it.

If I do that later today. I'll let you guys know if it worked.
