Garmin ALPHA 10 + TT25 Combo Range
The Garmin Alpha handheld and collar have a "line of sight" range of up to 9 miles.
The Alpha handheld and dog GPS collar communicate using a VHF radio signal. To get the maximum range out of the system there needs to be nothing obstructing this signal.
Realistically, this won't happen in most places we spend time with our dogs, so the actual usable range will be MUCH less than 9 miles depending on hunting/training conditions, weather, terrain, presence of cover, etc.
We have two new tracking collars: the T20 and TT25. The T20 is a tracking-only collar, and the TT25 is a tracking and training collar.
New TT25 and T20 Collar Features:
Dynamic Tracking -- stretches battery life, giving up to 68 hours per charge
Multi-colored running lights with 7 color options
Replaceable flex band
Status indicator light changes to one of 4 colors depending on collar status
An orange-topped GPS antenna identifies the T20 collar as tracking only.
These collars are one size fits most -- it's not too big for your small dog, and not too small for your big dog.
The collars can now be updated using WiFi. When you plug them in to charge, they'll automatically check for updates and install them as needed using your WiFi network.
Compatible Collars:
TT25 / TT15X / TT15 / TT15 MINI / TT10
T20 / T5X / T5 / T5 MINI (tracking function only)
NOT compatible with Astro DC series collars
Compatible Handhelds:
ALPHA 300i / 300 / 200i / 200 / 100 / 10

ASTRO 430 (tracking function only)
NOT compatible with Astro 320 or 220 handhelds
Garmin ALPHA 10 Handheld
The Garmin Alpha 10 is the newest handheld in the line of Garmin Alpha track and train systems. It works with "X" Series, regular, and MINI TT15s, TT10s, and T5s (tracking only).
What's unique about the Alpha 10 is its small size.
It is substantially smaller than the other handhelds on the market, weighing in at only 5.6 ounces and 2.6” tall. This could be a lot more comfortable for you to carry around in your hand, but whether this device is right or not for you depends on what you need, so read on.
What I like about this unit is that it will track up to 20 collars and handhelds, much like the Alpha 100 or the Alpha 200.
The tracking is similar to what you get from the PRO 550 PLUS. It is a directional only tracker, so when you're looking for a dog it will have an arrow showing the direction and distance the dog is from you.
The other great thing about the Alpha 10 is that it has the ability to track and message other Alpha handhelds, so you can sync it up with your 100 or 200 handhelds and send messages back and forth, and track each others’ locations.
The Alpha 10 has a lot of information packed into a small screen.
Overall, the Alpha 10 has a pretty simple interface. The toggle takes a little bit of getting used to, but the more I used it, the more I enjoyed it.
I found that it has a lot of information packed into a small screen and it fits in well with what I need in a lot of situations. As tracking units go, this is a really great handheld.
Where I think most folks are going to really appreciate the Alpha 10 is when using it in a vehicle.
I connect my Alpha 10 to a long-range antenna and use it along with a Garmin DriveTrack as a dedicated secondary unit that never leaves my truck. That way when I track dogs on foot I don't have to unscrew or unhook anything.
Since the Alpha 10 does not have mapping built-in, another option is to sync it with the Garmin Explorer app on your mobile phone. If you want a larger screen than the DriveTrack or a less expensive option, you can get a tablet and download the Garmin Explorer app there, too.
The Alpha 10 is a track and train unit but has limited training functionality.
The Alpha 10 has stimulation, tone, and vibration capabilities, but it is limited in that you have only one button with a toggle switch to raise and lower stimulation. The feedback we have been getting from customers is that this configuration isn’t particularly easy to use, the side-button in particular.
Basically, this is a good unit if you don’t have to use stimulation much, but it does not have the training functionality that the other Alpha handhelds have.
In my opinion, of the Garmin tracking/training units available, the PRO 550 PLUS offers the best e-collar functionality, followed by the Alpha 200, the Alpha 100, and then the Alpha 10.
The ALPHA 10 can track the same number of devices, but without built-in mapping functionality
The ALPHA 10 can communicate with and track other handhelds but lacks the ALPHA 200i’s InReach capabilities
The ALPHA 10 has stim, vibration, and tone, but not the multi-button control and versatility you get with the ALPHA 200i / 200
The ALPHA 10 does not have a touchscreen
Overall, the ALPHA 10 is considerably smaller and cheaper but comes with sacrifices in GPS tracking features as well as remote training functionality and versatility
To learn more about the ALPHA 10, watch my video that walks you through all the details, including system anatomy and setup.
Like the simply features of the Alpha 10, the toggle is very sensitive and the training collar button is hard to operate with gloves. Otherwise I like the all in one features with training and gps collar. The size of the handheld transmitter is great.
Pros
All in one and size is great.
Cons
Toggle is sensitive and training button is hard to feel with gloves.

Garmin Alpha10 and TT15X
March 10, 2022
This is a great product - I was a little unsure if I wanted the bigger system with maps or just the tracking arrow and distance, as with the alpha10, but I decided to go with the smaller system - and can use it with the Garmin app on my phone if I want more information. I have 2 male GSPs - just about a year old - whom I bring in the woods every morning. One is a runner, and disappears pretty regularly on me, which is why I got the system in the first place. The Alph10/TT15X system has given me my enjoyable morning walks and piece of mind back - I can see where my sinning dog is and give a gentle stimulus to remind him that he needs to come back. I don't stand in the middle of the wilderness yelling or whistling for him anymore. He has become more responsive and less likely to roam too far.
Pros
Easy to use, very long battery life (well over a week, out in the woods with dogs for about 1-2 hours a day), never loses the signal. Expensive, but worth the money. I would not bother with the more expensive versions that show maps on the screen - too much information and you can get that information for free with a Garmin App on your phone.
Cons
You need to be happy with the stimulus level you've chosen, as it is cumbersome to change on the fly.

Works great after software update
February 14, 2023
Initially could not get controller and collar to pair. Was told to update collar software, but was missing cable to connect from collar cable to USB. I bought my own and then tried updating collar with Garmin Express but it didn't work. Then tried updating the controller which did work allowing the two to pair.
Now that it's working, I couldn't be happier with it. Works as advertised.

Works Great
December 21, 2022
Small, lightweight and after playing with it for a few minutes I was ready to go hunting. It does everything that the more expensive units can do. Download the Garmin Explore app and you can watch everything you dogs are doing.
Pros
Simple, easy to set up and due to its size, you never know its in your pocket
Cons
Training button is a little small and stiff but it just takes a little time to get the feel of it

A great new addition to the field kit
December 14, 2022
I just received the Aplha 10 and TT15x collar combination before my last hunt and put it immediate into use. Setup was incredibly easy. The Alpha 10 paired quickly with both my existing TT15 and the new TT15x collars. I have been using a Garmin 550+ handheld for the past three seasons and love that unit as well. If your dog(s) need training/stimulation the 550+ is probably the better unit to use. Since I was hunting my 4 year-old LLewelyn Setter, training/stimulation is not much of a need.
Comparisons between the 550+ and the Alpha 10 - I love the unit's larger direction display, which is much easier on older eyes. The Alpha 10 is a much smaller unit and easily fit into the shoulder pouch on my vest, keeping it within easy access but out of the way when shouldering a shotgun to the other side. Both the 550+ and Alpha 10 synced well with Garmin's Explorer app, but it is slightly easier to start and stop a hunt tracking with the Alpha 10. There is a little more information on the collar available in the Alpha 10's screen, such as collar battery strength, which I much appreciate.
Overall, I really like the Alpha 10. The three main things I need in a tracking collar right now in order of importance are direction and distance to my pups, battery strength of the unit and collars, and a stimulation option for the rare correction need. The Alpha 10 checks all those boxes.
As for the new TT15x collar - I need to perform some side-by-side testing, but it does appear to be slightly more accurate than my older TT15 collar. The software updates were easy enough to do thru Garmin Express, not that the WebUpdater approach was that difficult. Though, I do like having all my Garmin updates (550+, Alpha10, Fenix) in a single software location.
One more note on the customer service from Gun Dog Supply ... It was, as usual, simply amazing ... My wife actually ordered this unit as a gift for me and the pup. She initially forgot to order the TT15x collar with a blue strap (almost everything for this pup is blue). Hours after she placed the order, she called to adjust the order. In her words = "the woman who answered the phone could not have been nicer!"
Pros
+ Smaller than the 550+
+ Bigger directional display
+ Location accuracy
+ Unit and Collar battery strength
Cons
- Changing stimulation levels is not as quick as the 550+
- Easy to toggle the thumb switch when taking the unit in and out of a vest pocket/pouch

Great E-Collar & Tracking System

So far, so good. Garmin makes top notch products. Had to exchange the TT15X for the TT15 Mini. Gun Dog Supply made the exchange easy.
Great company. Great support. My go to site for all things sport dog related.

Great small handheld

I got the Alpha 10 to be a compact handheld for my Garmin collars and it has been working like a dream with my 5 dogs in the field.
Pros
Great size and reception
Cons
None to say so far

Ideal for Chukar hunting
March 5, 2022
This is perfect for birdhunting in big country with a trained dog. I used Astros in the past but too many features made it harder to use. Seeing the direction and distance of the dog is all I need for tracking. Marking the truck is a big plus and why I chose this over the 550 plus. I do not use this for training but do need stimulation and randge for the occasional deer/antelope chase. The only thing I would change would be to add a range alert feature. If I need that and other mapping features I can also carry my Astro 430 which can read the TT15X collar.
Pros
Light and small. Easy to use. Good range Great for upland bird hunting.
Cons
Battery stopped taking a charge and had to return it to Garmin for a replacement.
Using with Garmin Explore was too confusing.

Simple, but not Garmin's best engineering
November 4, 2021
The upside is that the battery lasts a long time and they've dropped all the bells and whistles from the 100 and 200, so it's much simpler. Eliminating the touch screen also prevents the annoying moment when you look down during a hunt and realize you're 4-screens deep into a place you don't care about or don't want to be
The downside is that it seems to have been designed by someone who hasn't hunted with it-- (see cons, below)
To be clear: my frustrations are with Garmin, not Gun Dog Supply! I'm grateful to GDS that it was even available-- these are not easy to find these days and I needed mine quickly when my Alpha 100 stopped charging (after just 2 years).
Bottom line is that I'm keeping it, but there's room for improvement!
Pros
Long battery life.
Fast Charging.
Compact size.
Cons
Biggest flaw is the Training button, which 1) is hard to find by feel and/or without having to look, 2) is difficult to engage with gloves on, and 3) doesn't have any "action" like a click or vibration to let the user know it's been engaged.
The small size also means that using the buttons is cramped. Engaging the training button requires squeezing from the other side, which often causes inadvertent pressing of the Menu Button. This is true whether it's held in the right or left hand, and it's especially bad if you have large hands and/or fat fingers.
A post-production workaround might be a latex protective "skin" that could add a bump to the training button, so that it's more easily found and engaged without looking and with gloves on.
Like most Garmin products, the menus are not too intuitive-- likely b/c they're designed by engineers rather that dog trainers and handlers. E.g.: Engaging the Stim/Tone/Vibe from the little joystick would be helpful.
Last, a bottom mount for a lanyard would be helpful. I like to have the unit clipped on my belt, but also tethered with a shock cord, which is possible with the 100, but the belt clip attachment makes that impossible with this unit, so the shock cord and/or carabiner get all messed up in the belt clip. A simple bottom attachment would be another big help.
I would recommend this to a friend, but not without some warnings!

Perfect Combination
September 16, 2021
The Alpha 10 is exactly what I've been looking for in a handheld track/train. It's simple, it tells you where your dogs are, it alerts you when they're on point, and it gives you the ability to correct with tone/vibrate/ continuous and momentary stimulation. It is more of a "tracking" device than a "training" device, but it does give you the ability to do both. Pairing the Alpha 10 (and appropriate collars) with the Garmin Explore app (on your smartphone) gives you real-time and useful data on topographical or aerial imagery maps that can be reviewed in the field or after the hunt. The Garmin Explore app can be used with or without cell service, as long as the appropriate maps are downloaded beforehand. All of this, in a small and light package, makes the Alpha 10 perfect for my needs.
Pros
Simple
Versatile
Pairs with Garmin Explore app
Small & Light
Cons
"Training" button can be difficult to quickly find in the field
Included carabiner is not ideal - it should be attached at the bottom of the device, not at the top.

Fast service and functional controller
September 16, 2021
Received the unit two days after ordering! It is a simple device easy to set up and the screen is easily seen in the sun. I like the compass and time showing right above the dog data. The tone and vibrate function setting and menu are easily accessible. I run three dogs and the screen shows their distance and direction. The toggle is rapid and the stimulation button convenient to press.
Pros
Small and easy to use device that functions as intended. I manage my pointers more easily than with the Alpha 100 while hunting.
Simple to set up and has what you need work your dogs in the field.
Cons
Been using the alpha 10 for a week so have not found fault with it as yet.
