Re: G3 Upland
The cover will certainly affect the range, but I think it will give you all the range you need. You shouldn't use it when your dog is out of sight anyway. JMO

I have one and didn't feel comfortable with the range here in the grouse woods, which is very similar to where you will be going.
I bought the G2 Upland on a closeout last year and love it. It looks like they still have a few left at a real good price: http://www.tritronics.com/g2sale.asp
IMO, when running in the grouse woods you need at least a 1 mile collar with pointing dogs. It's not that they will run a mile but you will get at least 600 yards out of that collar, while with the G3 1/2 mile, you are really only going to get 200-300 yards. If you are like me you don't notice you need it until they get 200 yards out and then you are risking it.

Re: G3 Upland
I've never been limited on range through the thickest of Northwoods coverts with my G3 Upland.
Easy to use and the ability to add another 2 collars... love it!
