DC-40's... how are y'all liking them?

I had the same problem Brad....call Garmin and tell them what it's doing, they'll want you to change the update rate and check to see if it has the lastest version of software in it. I did all that and mine still would drop communication with the Astro 220 at random times. The guy said that he would send me a replacement antenna for the collar and if that didn't cure the problem I'd have to send it back. I got the antenna in a couple of days,.....replaced the old one with it....I also updated the collar info on the 220....problem soved...it hasn't done it since....hope this helps.
