if it aint broke, fix it till it is...

Real pleased with the 3os, Only got about Two weeks on them but no problems so far. Much better than the 20s. The only thing i would have liked to see changed is the charge port.

i like it a lot better but they put the chargeing plug-in in a stupid spot and mine keeps getting full of mud

Bicycle inner tube over the charging port solved all the charging problems for me.

can anyone honestly say the range is any better.

i have 3 DC 20s that i get 1 to 2 miles out of in ideal conditions
but before i spend the money on the 30 i need to know if its worth it

I see no diference in the range, however I dont lose the signal near as much with the 30. Never have I lost them for over a minute or 2........

Same here.

I agree with JiM.

When you do lose signal, do you still have everything on there when you regain signal? Like the trails that your dogs and you have took, are they still on there when you get service back? Also has any one used these in big mountains with deep hollers and heavy cover? How do they hold up in these conditons?

I have had 20s and quite honestly could never keep one going very long they were inthe mail more than I was able to use them. I have 2 dc-30s now I wasnt the first to get one but close There is no comparison between the 2. I have found range to be better as well.If you get truck mount anntanae it will also make a huge difference in range. Now if we could only get garmin to trade out the junk 20s for 30s

GARMIN

MY FRIEND JUST BOUGHT ONE WE USED IT THE LAST WEEK OF BEAR SEASON AND HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR COON HUNTING AND I WILL BE BUYING ONE BEFORE CAT SEASON I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AROUND FOR PRICING AND AVAILABILITY IF YOU HEAR OF A GOOD PLACE TO BUY ONE WITH NO WAITING PLEASE LET ME NOW GOOD LUCK LARRY
