Range of dc40

I was just wondering what kind of range does a dc40 collar have using the astro 220

Dc 40 collars

Just a couple of hundred yards LESS than a dc 30...

You can expect about a mile give or take a little. We tested one the other night by hanging it in a tree in my yard. It picked up. 1.4 miles (that's more than I usually get ) with standard antenna on receiver. Then we switched to after market antenna on a coax and picked up 3.7

Half mile in good terrian

I disagree. I've used both and have always gotten better results with my DC40's. I've got long range antenna's on everything and consistently get about 1-1.5 miles, that's with a Astro 320. I also have DC50's and get about the same. I live in flat, to rolling farm country with scattered trees. IMO you cannt go wrong with the DC40's.

It's just my opinion but the dc30 is much better than the dc40,,,but I believe a lot of other guys will probably agree with me on this

Your absolutely right. These guys that think a DC-30 gets better range than a 40 either haven't actually used a 40 and a 30 at the same time or there was something wrong with they're 40. I hunt fairly hilly country so sometimes I do loose my 40s at 1100 yrds but anytime there is another dog with a 30 the 30 will poop out At 900 or LESS.
