If you're going to need more dog-tracking receiver sensitivity than a
"duck" antenna provides, you'd probably want a full-sized directional
antenna... maybe a 3-element Yagi (search for "measuring tape Yagi"
for DIY plans). These aren't terribly field-friendly, of course.

Hi Dave.
I think this isn't a DF application. The Garmin comes with a dog's collar
that has a GPS receiver and a MURS transmitter. The collar receives the GPS
signals and transmits the dog's position (okay - technically it is actually
transmitting the position of the collar) using the MURS frequencies. The GPS
receives those MURS signals from the collar and displays the position on its
screen.
Can't see from the Quick Start Manual what is actually being transmitted by
the collar - the GPS data as received or the actual lat/long position.

It's not THAT clever - the collar doesn't include a long arm poop-scoop.

73 Ian.
