Description
The Dogtra antenna ANT 2 is the replacement antenna for 280C series and ARC series units. Those are two of the most popular Dogtra systems, and antennas take a lot of knocks in daily use.
Will the Dogtra Antenna ANT 2 fit?
It’s listed for the 280C series and the ARC series. The 2700T&B and Edge use the ANT 3 instead.
Signs it needs replacing
Visible damage is the obvious sign: a kink, crack or a stub where the antenna used to be. The less obvious one is range. If your dog stops responding at distances it used to handle and the batteries are fine, check the antenna.
Fitting the new antenna
Switch the unit off, remove the old antenna and fit the new one snugly without overtightening. Then test range in an open field before you rely on it. The manual for your model on Dogtra’s website has the details.
Getting the most range
Listed ranges are measured in open, flat ground. Hills, timber and buildings cut them down. Hold the remote with the antenna pointing up and away from your body for the best signal.
Antenna or something else?
Before you blame the antenna, rule out the easy things. Charge both units fully, make sure you’re testing in open ground, and check the collar is switched on and paired. If range is still short and the antenna looks tired, replace it.
Looking after antennas
Don’t use the antenna as a handle, and don’t wind lanyards round it. Store the remote so nothing presses on the antenna, and check it for cracks at the start of each season.
A spare in the kit
Antennas are cheap and a broken one can end a training day. Lots of trainers keep a spare in the kit bag with a small screwdriver.
Other parts for the 280C and ARC
The 280C collar runs on the BP37P3303P battery and its remote on the BP37T3P. ARC owners need the BP37P2803P for the collar and BP74T23P for the remote. Both systems use the #4 metal belt clip.
Ordering tips
Small parts are cheap to add to a bigger order. If you’re also due a battery, strap or contact points, put them in the same order so it all ships together with one tracking number.
Why genuine
Genuine only. We sell new, original Dogtra parts in their packaging, made to Dogtra’s own specs, so they fit and work the way the factory part did.
