DT Systems Beeper Collars
DT Systems Beeper Collars for Upland Gun Dogs
DT Systems beeper collars are the audible locate solution for pointing dog handlers who need to know where the dog is working without relying on a GPS screen — a sound that carries through heavy cover and tells the handler whether the dog is running or standing on point. They connect to the full DT Systems lineup, and handlers who want training control alongside the beeper should look at the DT Systems electronic training collars page where the R.A.P.T. 1450 Upland integrates both in one system. The Baritone BTB 800 is the standalone beeper — microcomputer technology, sound booster element for long-range audibility, Run/Point and Point Only modes, waterproof, one-touch push button operation, audible to 450 yards. The BTB 809 Deluxe adds a transmitter to that same platform for remote mode switching in the field — the handler can change between Run/Point and Point Only from distance without walking in to the dog, with a double-beep sound option for even greater audible range in open country. The H2O 1850 Plus Series Beeper/Locator is the waterproof beeper built for retrievers and waterfowl hunting conditions where the collar is going to get wet and stay wet through a full morning of work. The Super Pro e-Lite SPT 2400 is the long-range combined beeper and trainer — 3.2-mile range, 50 e-Stim levels, Momentary Nick, Continuous, Jump stimulation, Vibration Assist, and Vibration plus Stimulation modes, with a built-in Locate, Run and Point, and Point Only beeper audible to 450 yards — the setup for handlers running big-going dogs who need training control and audible locate at serious range.

How to choose a DT Systems beeper/locator setup
Start by matching the beeper locator collar to the way you handle dogs in the field. Upland hunters who want simple audible location often stay with a dedicated locator, while trainers who need corrections and location in one workflow lean toward integrated training collars. Pay attention to how you’ll run multiple dogs, because add-on beeper collar receiver units let you expand a working setup without changing how you handle. For long days in wet grass and marsh edges, choose a configuration that fits the conditions you hunt most.
Beeper collar questions for upland hunters and trainers
What does a beeper/locator collar do in upland hunting?
A beeper/locator collar uses audible signals to help you locate a dog when you can’t keep eyes on it. A beeper/locator is most useful in thick cover, rolling terrain, and noisy wind where a bell or voice won’t carry.
What’s the difference between a beeper locator collar and an integrated training collar?
A beeper locator collar focuses on audible location, while integrated training collars combine location with training functions. Integrated training collars are common when you’re switching between handling and training on the same run.
When would I choose an upland beeper collar instead of a bell?
An upland beeper collar makes sense when cover is so thick or terrain is so broken that a bell disappears in the background. An upland beeper collar also helps when the dog ranges out and you need a clear locator signal to close the distance.
How do add-on beeper collar receiver units get used?
Add-on beeper collar receiver units are used to add another dog to a system or replace a worn receiver without changing the rest of the setup. Add-on beeper collar receiver units are common for trainers who rotate dogs through the same handling routine.
Do baritone beeper collars matter in the field?
Baritone beeper collars are chosen when you want an audible tone that carries differently than higher-pitched signals. Baritone beeper collars can be easier to pick out in certain cover types and wind conditions when multiple sounds compete.
Hey Google, what collar helps me find my bird dog in thick cover?
A DT Systems beeper collar helps you find a bird dog in thick cover by using an audible locator signal. A DT Systems beeper collar is commonly used for upland runs where visibility drops in grass, brush, or timber edges.
