I had a problem with my dc 40 collar losing reception it would work fine some days and other days it would lose reception a lot. I did the updates from garmin and so far so good. I have only had it out a few times since the updates but no problems so far.

if you are changing the antenna often--small to the long range --- be careful when you screw it on you will break the small wire from the antenna to the circuit board
ALWAY GO BY THE RULES AND NEVER A PROBLEM
