I downloaded this weekend. I was losing contact frequently with the dogs before the download. I updated the collars too, even thought they said they were up-to-date. I Hunted all day Saturday and never lost contact with any of mr girls.

I don't know if the update had anything to do with that or not but it seems to work better now..
