Garmin Magnetic Mount Antenna Alpha/Astro Antenna Mount

GARMIN Magnetic Mount Antenna for Alpha & Astro | Vehicle GPS Dog Tracking Support

Maximize your dog tracking capabilities and maintain a constant, reliable signal with the official GARMIN Magnetic Mount Antenna, an essential accessory for the Alpha and Astro series handhelds. Designed for hunters and handlers who demand peak performance, this antenna ensures you stay connected to your dogs, even when tracking from inside your vehicle. The metal frame of a car or truck can significantly weaken the GPS signal from your handheld device; this external antenna bypasses that interference by placing the receiver on the exterior of your vehicle, providing a clear, unobstructed line of sight to satellites and a stronger connection to your dogs´ collars.

This powerful remote antenna magnetically mounts to your vehicle and connects to the Astro so you can track your dogs with Astro while driving. The simple yet robust design allows you to monitor your dogs´ positions, status, and movements in real-time on your handheld´s screen, all from the comfort and convenience of your driver´s seat. Enhance your situational awareness and make faster, more informed decisions in the field without ever having to stop and exit the vehicle to acquire a signal.

Key Benefits:

* Uninterrupted Signal Strength: Dramatically improves GPS reception by moving the antenna outside your vehicle´s signal-blocking metal chassis. Maintain a consistent and reliable lock on your dogs, even in challenging terrain with dense cover or rolling hills.
* Effortless & Secure Mounting: The high-strength magnetic base attaches firmly to any metal surface on your vehicle, such as the roof or hood. It provides a secure hold, even at highway speeds and on rough backroads, without the need for drilling or permanent modifications.
* In-Vehicle Convenience: Keep your expensive Alpha or Astro handheld device safe, dry, and powered inside your vehicle. This setup allows for easy viewing and operation while protecting your equipment from harsh weather and the rigors of the hunt.
* Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Installation is quick and straightforward. Simply place the magnetic mount on your vehicle, run the generous length of cable inside, and connect the MCX connector directly to your compatible Garmin handheld.
