Doesn't sound like it is shielded from RF transmission damage so I wont be upgrading.
Garmin doesn't "get it." lots of physical upgrades but really, all moot features.

The biggest upgrade with the 320 is that you now can have a bird's eye satellite view of where the dog is at. The 320 also gets better range than the 220 did. The 320 has a key lock feature so that you aren't accidentally bumping buttons while hunting. The clip is a caribeaner and not a plastic snap so it is much more rugged. The color is orange so that if you drop it you can find it easier. The 320 has an internal memory so no more fumbling around with those tiny micro sd cards, however you can still use them if you want. Not sure which antenna will be on the stock version but either one works great. Also there are some advanced features like area calculation that add some value to certain folks.

You can still only track 10 dogs.

It is still operating on the Murs freq

Just a little info for ya.

The Dc 30 collars will definately work with the 320.
