I was wondering how they were working for those that use them. Are they overall better or is it about the same with losing communication and not ranging very far, I was thinking about trading the 30's for 40's but thought I would ask about the performance first.

I just bought 2 DC40's and I've had them out twice. The first thing I did when I got them was update the software to the current version 3.6. Can't tell you much about the max range yet but so far I like them. I lost signal on the DC30's a little quicker than the 40's with the small rubber antenna. I have lost signal with the 40's with the dogs in the box but not when the dogs are out hunting. I have probably only been one mile from the dogs with the roof mount antenna and the 40's worked great.
The charger is 100 times better and the straps don't stink like the 30's.
I wouldn't get rid of your 30's to buy 40's but from here on out I would say buy 40's. I think most of the problems they had at the beginning were software issues. If you get them you need to make sure they AND the Astro have the latest update.

I wouldn't trade out your 30s for 40s, but the 40s are good collars.
I am getting around 800 to 900 yards consistantly with the rubber antenna on the handheld in these SC swamps. Charger and actual collar are better.

So if i don't trade out will the 40's work while the 30's are on the same handheld?
