Country boy, Al the possum is trying to say exactly that, but he's being very delicate in how he's saying it. I spose it's got something to do with being a FP field staffer.
I'm in a position I don't have to be quite as delicate as the old possum, so I'll tell ya straight out that the TX9 will NOT *reach out* nor be near as reliable as the TX500 using FHSS.
There is a big difference.
Doggin you hit the nail on the head in every aspect of your post.
Knowing where your allegiance lies as far as ecallers, your answers are more than predictable. However, since you two are expounding your wisdom on the subject of comparing remote distance and reliability, I've got a question about your ecaller of choice. Hopefully, you'll answer this "straight out" and "hit the nail on the head in every aspect of your post" too.
Where does the remote in your favorite ecaller fit in comparison to the FoxPro remote with the FHSS technology?.
BTW, in case you missed it, the people from FoxPro have already stated the obvious in in their reply shown above, but thanks anyway for your astute observations.

If you knew even a tenth of what you think you know, you would be one fart smeller.
The remote in my favorite caller mirrors the FHSS. In fact it might even be a little better.
BTW, I don't miss much and I didn't miss the reply from the people at FP. I think Country Boy may of missed it though. I was just replying to his question that was directed to Possumal. I guess you could say I was butting in where I probably shouldn't of been. The same could be said of you.
You're more than welcome for my astute observations. I gave them mainly with you in mind.

I have tested my MA21 remote at 300 yards with outstanding results. Also tried 900 yards with no response. Will go from 300 to see where signal is lost, just for the heck of it, can't imagine needing even 300.

hey zach, what is Mark II sounds. i know about the sounds that all pred . com puts out. is something diff?
The Mark II sounds are 24 bit audio. That way you get the most out of your new call!
Go to this link and look on the sound list. Then click on the one that says Mark II 24 bit at the top of the list and it will show you all the 24 bit sounds that foxpro offers.

The whole debate on remotes and their effective ranges to me,is somewhat like me buying a $300,000 NHRA Funnycar,to drive around to hunt out of.Yeah,it'll do 300mph in the 1/4,but do I really need it?
I've never hunted west of the Ole Miss,so maybe those guys need a remote that can transmit to the moon,but as far as my hunting situations go,100yds will cover about all my spots.Usually closer,is the norm.
Something else I consider is the fact that the farther I walk my caller from me,the more likely I may be seen,the greater my scent trail will be,more noise during the walk,and last but not least,time.Unless you drop the caller off from the truck,and drive to your stand,it takes up too much time to walk it out 400yds,and then back to go get it.
I also walk at a pretty fast pace to get back to my shooting position,which normally amounts to elevated heart rate and rapid breathing,which is not very conducive to accurate shooting.
Nobody needs to reply to this post telling me I need to get in better shape,I've known that for years.
Also,no one has to bet that I'm one of those FoxPro guys too.I am.
I've owned two.Sold my first one on ebay and the resale value really surprised me.I was more than happy with what I got from it.Maybe the other e-callers hold their value as well.I don't know personally,I've never sold one.
I personally wouldn't buy a caller just because of it's effective remote range.I mean really,if range was that important,how in the world does anyone ever kill a critter with a hand call?I know they make some dandy customs,and I own several,but have yet to see one that was capable of ventriloquism.Maybe a JDS Custom Call will.
And lastly,from my own personal experience,I don't know how you could beat FoxPro in the service department.I got a little to rough with mine,and ripped a wire loose and had to send it in.It was back in no time and they even sent me an upgraded remote.No charge.
EVERY company,yes FoxPro included, is going to have problems with their products from time to time,but I don't think I've ever read any more complaints than people that have owned,or placed orders that have taken forever to get,than WT's.
Don't get me wrong,I know there are plenty of hunters that would trade off their first born,before they would their WT,and thats great.I've heard plenty of good stuff from hunters that own them.
My biggest problem with the WT callers is the owner.After reading what he had put out on his website about what another person had written.I have absolutely no respect for him,so I choose not to do business with them.There is a time and place for everything,and writing negative stuff,on his own website,when the other party can't argue their point,is pretty low in my book.
I think thats what PM and sites like this one are for.
Thats my opinion,and remember I said "opinion".Anyone is welcome to try to change it.That's why we're all here anyway,is'nt it?
Sorry for writing a whole novel here.It's kinda like coyote huntin,it's hard for me to stop when I get going.I apologize.

WOW!!! I concur bgtme....Great read!!!
I will also add this...If WT came even close to selling as many calls as FoxPro does they would have more problems to surface also....Just a guess but FP probably outsells WT, 100 to 1....I have owned the FX3,FX5,CS-24, and the Fury and have never had 1 problem with anything...If I were to have a problem it is reassuring to know that FoxPros customer service is the best in the buisness...I ordered the Firestorm today and should have it the first of the week....Im not saying that problems with FoxPro ecalls doesnt happen its just that I havent had any issues whatsoever and believe me I put them through the test and kill alot of fur with them....

Bgtme,
No the JDS Calls are NOT capable of ventriloquism, but have been known to be blown by a dumby.
People kill critters with hand calls with SKILLS and knowledge. The set up is much more important when hand calling than how far a remote can work and how many sounds you can play. It is not as easy as push a button and let the killing comince.
Chad,
Last year was my first year hunting over an e-caller and I hunted over both a WT and FoxPos and the WT in MY opinion was by far better. I for one hope WT never sells as many as FoxPor cause I am selfish and dont want everyone else and there brother to hunt over the best caller on the market.
Thanks

WT RULES
Foxpro drools
Just kidding, I wouldn't knock Foxpro, I've never heard one so I can't remark on them. They sell enough to know they are quality products.
As for remote ranges, my take is the better the range, the better it will perform at shorter range hopefully even in brushy enviroments.
I bought the WT MA21`for the volume and quality of sounds on the one I heard in person. My experience ordering the call, picking my sounds and shipping time left me very happy.
Now I'm waiting for coyote season to open back up next month to give it the real test.

Like I said I have hunted over both the WT and FoxPos and my vote is for the WT. No problems what so ever out of the WT and the remote. If you got anymore question I will do my best to answer them with my limited experience with the WT.

Courtqus,you obviously missed my point altogether,even as obvious as it was.Oh,well.
I've probably killed as many predators with a hand call as I have an e-caller.I do actually know a little about the "SKILLS"of which you speak.
I don't believe my post needs any further explanation.I think most people knew the point I was trying to make.

If your words and actions are indicative of your products, people should avoid them. They are very reminiscent of another person. That being said, I have no time to waste with people of your ilk.
**************************************************************
As for doggin coyotes, your copy of my reply says it all. You're a cut and paste kind of guy.
BTW, doggin coyotes, are you still looking to buy pirated wt sounds for your caller? Perhaps you should ask a few more people for them, as I don't own any and I have no intention of looking for any either. MI VHNTR
