Title: garmin dc40 Post by: Bigdog on May 30, 2010, 04:51:25 pm saw this on big game houndmens.com n e 1 heard of a new collar to replace the 20 n 30.maybe it will get more miles.
Title: Re: garmin dc40 Post by: GCPS on June 11, 2010, 09:21:14 am Garmin is coming out with the DC-40 at the 3rd quarter of this year. It is expected to have a feature called "COLLAR LOCK" which prevents other hunters from seeing your dog on there 220. The suggested retail will be around $250 per collar, which is around $50 higher per collar than the current DC-30.
Title: Re: garmin dc40 Post by: GCPS on June 11, 2010, 09:23:21 am This is also NOT going to be a replacement for the DC-30, it will just have some new features that the DC-30 does not have - such as Collar LOCK and still a 7 miles range depending on terrain and location. One of the best features is that it will have a receiver that connects to ANY 1" collar - so your dog will only need ONE collar, instead of potentially the two that many people have.
Title: Re: garmin dc40 Post by: scdogman on June 16, 2010, 04:41:30 pm The dc30 state a seven mile range too. I don't believe that you will see any range improvemnt.
One or two collars is not a big deal. The dog will still have to carry both devices, so the weight is about the same. Title: Re: garmin dc40 Post by: charles on June 21, 2010, 10:00:57 pm its not the weight the dogs have to carry, its that the new collar can be used on any 1" collar even those that have the leash/leader ring on them so u have to hav just 1 collar and u can still lead the dog around even if the tracking sys is on.
