new e-collar

I did some (a lot) of research and ordered Sportdog SD 1225 (need third collar)

3/4 mile range, low/med/high level on the collar, 8 levels of stim on the remote
both the remote and the collar are waterproof
quick charge - 2 hours
I only use continuous stim, never nicks and I don't have a use for tone and vibrate, but the collar has them.
Expandable to 3 dogs/collars, in which case you can only use one type of stim per dog - exactly what I need, i.e. no tone/vibrate.

I used one dog Dogrta and now have the same 2 dog Dogtra, which I am reasonalby happy with, but Sportdog is chepear and easily extendable (I had to sell one dog Dogtra and buy 2 dog unit).

The remote seems to be nice.

I ordered it from Amazon in Canada for 299 + tax.

Most of the reviews are good, although SD is made in China (Dogtra in S Korea, but I had to repair the one dog unit). Some complaints, looks like mostly from some years ago, hopefully they fixed those issues.

It's better to have 2 systems, if I lose or break one of them, at least I have the other.

I'll report on the collar when I get it.
