ive got the 40s and have no problem since ive upgraded the antennas , but next few collars i buy are gonna be the 50s. they pick up 21 more satalites have a power saver when batt gets low bark indicator and a thicker longer antenna . garmin def stepped it up with the 50. as for the 320 i love it birdseye is a plus

30s and 40s both work for me. The 20s were junk. I still like the 220 GPS best.

I am with Boarhog 1, I like the 220 better. But the new DC 50 does sound great and you need a 320 for those but I am so happy with the 40's it is not worth the extra money to me right now. Also they have just came out and I am sure they will have some issues to work out, I would wait a year or so before buying a new model anything.

I got 220 with DC30's. Love em when they work Hate them when they don't. I will upgrade as soon as I have the $$. But I may be trying the sport dog Tek 1.0 or newer versions.

Ive got the 220 with 4 dc 30s and 3 dc 40s I like all of it no need for me to switch it all works and puts me right
where I need to be . If I was you id buy the 320 and the 50s any bugs that need to be worked out are all online fixes
with the webupdater on garmins website. only thing ive seen about the 320 I didnt care for was the back light once
the batteries get to a certain point that backlight wont work and I do almost all of my hog doggin at night jmo.
good luck.

Conkeys hound supply has the best prices i have found and also deals in some used stuff and is very knowledgeable. His dc40 collars were 180.

I just ordered another DC40 from conkeys today. he asked me if I had a 320 before I ordered, he said from what he has seen the DC 50 is really really nice. I am happy with my 220 and don't have the money to update my handheld right now but thought I would pass that on. He is a dog hunter himself and from my dealings a very honest man. Got a DC40 with a Blue collar and name plate for under 190 shipped. Can't beat that.
