Ok guys need se help.  I run a 220 and I have several dc 30 and several dc 40.  Up until this weekend I have had zero issues. This weekend my dc 30 quit tracking and they said they could not connect to my unit.  My dc 40 were going in and out and not working great. I was hunting with a friend who has the new alpha. Someone said the alpha interferes some with the older systems. Any advice?

Just as a precaution, delete the collars and add them back. Iv ran into that issue before if they have been synced for several months and not real active.

Yep, the alpha interferes with them everytime. You may try updating everything, but I'm not sure if that will stop it.

You have to download the Garmin WebUpdater to your computer and it should walk you thru it.

I just updated my crap and it's still jacking up. Losing dogs in and out and now my long range truck antenna won't work with it good.  It's frustrating and I wanna chunk it but can't live without it, kinda like the wife  Grin

I messed up and didn't double collar my dogs a few weeks back, and lost communication with a super nice young gyp and never picked her back up. I'm sure some sorry POS has a new hog dog and an extra gps collar.
