I'm not sure if your talking about loosing the GPS on the handheld or collars?

If it's the collars I would inspect the rubber between the two boxes to make sure the wire isn't getting worn or something that would cause this.

It's the handheld not the collars. It beeps at me and says lost satellite signal.

My alpha did that. I did a reset and emptied my track log and all is well

After the reset you'll need to reload your collars
