the best thing you can do is play with it, push alot of buttons and figure out what they do. oh and every now n then update the software with the web updater, and update the collars too. if you have any issues hollar at us.

Thanks for the info. I just got it in ab 2 days ago and I'm going to try it out for the first time. If anybody needs to buy anything for the tracking systems go to universal mania they are cheaper than anyone else I have found. And they also have a warranty plan. That was the saleing point for me. And thanks again.

You can run them both from the same handheld system. However, you need to run the web updater on the DC-30 system and collar. The DC-40 did have some problems but Garmin has worked them out and they are proving to be a better system and come already updated. I sell dog hunting supplies and I carry both DC-30 and DC-40. For awhile they were having problems and people didn't like them. They seem to have the new ones worked out and I can't keep them. I'm being told now they are out tracking the 30 hands down by multiple hunters who are running both. Remember the upgrades are the key to proper operation. If you have any problems or would just like some advice call me and I'll be glad to walk you through upgrades or anything you need to know about the system. The collar needs the upgrade just as bad as the handheld don't forget that. Hope you enjoy it.
