I have a garmin with 2 collars (dc30s), about a year old and 1 collar is better than the other.  At best, with best collar in thickets of east texas i get about .6ish miles(just like hillbilly mentions) and then lose her, which is very interesting that it's at about the same distance.  The other night the best i could get was .64 and it would drop out.  We were in some thick stuff and was also pretty hilly country.  On my not-so-great collar, i can lose it at 5-600yds or so like Caddo co. said his does.  Now i don't have any extra antennas, just the regular unit, but i'm thinking about trying the long range antenna to help me stay with my longer range dog/s.  One good thing is that most the time my second dog is going to be with my main strike if out very far, otherwise hunts within the 5-600 range when not with her.  But it is frustrating that it's not as good as the other, and that neither get any farther than the .6 mile range.
