Title: TT upland G3 - broke the tether
Post by: KFhunter on January 07, 2017, 11:31:03 AM: So peeved I broke the tether off my transmitter climbing over a fence a couple days ago working with pigeons, I somehow hooked it just right and popped off the plastic piece that holds the tether cord :bash: I normally throw the receiver over my back when climbing fences, but missed it this time.

I always wear it around my neck over my bird vest.

What's a good way to secure the transmitter? I know I can't be the only one with a broken tether. I hate digging it out of my pocket with gloves on.

Post by: KFhunter on January 08, 2017, 03:33:46 PM: I'm going to sew on a web strap D loop on it and hook a C clip and tether on it. Just needed something to attach too since I broke the tether pin off the bottom.

Also got me a new collar battery while I was at it but having trouble sourcing additional collars to add another dog, probably upgrade if that happens.

through the cover gussets? Or are talking about the transmitter itself?
