What program did you use to try and update the handheld. My guess might be garmin express. Try web updater program.

Sorry GARYD I had it backwards. Here is an email I got from my contact at Garmin.

Garmin Express has version 4.30 on it for the Alpha 200i. WebUpdater is not recommended for anything other than the full size collars I know that is going to be another growing pain for people who have used that for a long time. As we go into busy season I am sure some of the old issues will pop up especially since straight out the box is usually not the latest and greatest software version available.

I got it to work, I took the y connector off the USB cable and plugged the cable directly into the handheld
