It seems like almost every night it will drop signal and then pick it right back up. Running 30s and 40s right with it and they never drop. Every time it is within 400 yards.

Hold the On/Off switch down until it cuts off and it should reset.

Hunted with a guy last night that had bought a 320 and DC50 that day. I looked at the dog info page on his collar and I be derned if his collar was not showing poor GPS reception too.
The 30 collars were plugging along at full signal.

You guys running these DC50 collars, the next time you are hunting, occasionally look on the dog info page and see if you generally have "half" GPS signal strength on the collar.
I am not talking about collar to 320 reception, I am talking about the strength the collar is reporting that it has on the satellite telemetry. I wouldnt be surprised if it was generally about half strength if not worse!
