Can anyone tell me what to do.my dc 30 collar is messing up.it shows dog is 300 yds and really the dog is close. And it says collar 2 has lost gps signal.and lost communication. And end of day if my other collar says 13 miles.the bad one says.. half mile.lol. any help would be appreciated. Thx

i would start by deleting them both and setting them up again see if that clears it up ,,my guess is it would .

I would check the antenna.

i was having trouble with mine losing signal every day... ended up both antennas i got with the system were bad. i switched to a tough skin antenna and took it out monday for the first time... held a full communication and gps signal all day. never had a single problem or sputter out of it.

Call Garmin and explain what is happening. They have been good with helping me.

Thx for info

Art,

Silicone dielectric grease on the two terminals ( antennae and gps wire) under the metal cover helps if you are losing signal when the unit gets wet.....autoparts stores have it for sensitive waterproof electrical connections

I have deleted the collar.and then added it again. And no luck tried it today same thing lost connection.

replace the antenna first thing...
