I have two dc50 and really like them. Also have a t5 and love it. I have picked up the t5 At 2 mi where the dc50 lost communication at 1.12mi. Both collars are good. Garmin quit making the dc50 about 2 months ago. Hope this helps

Several dealers still have the DC 50. I love mine but If I was buyin one now Id probably just go ahead and buy the T5 unless you just don't wanna spend the extra 40 bucks or whatever it is. It's basically the same collar but they do say the T5 picks up alot better. Also it has the lights and is compatible with the alpha.
