Flextone FLX 1000 heads up if you are thinking of buying one

[Hellgate]

I have had the above model for about a year and was very happy with it's 3 speaker versatility, loudness and sound library until I lost the remote on a long hike out and could not find it after an extensive search. It somehow fell out of my backpack on the hike as did the rest of the caller when I got back to the rig. I came home thinking, well, there goes another 100 bucks for a remote. When I called the customer service I requested a replacement remote only to be told: "they are all synched at the factory and you cannot use any other remote except the one that came with it". To me, this is a major flaw. It has the push button option on the unit but the sound can be deafening. The big appeal of the e-callers is that you can sit hidden away from it and do your calling. Now I have to toss the entire unit and start over looking for a replacement. It ain't gonna be the Flextone.

That was one of the neat things about a Minaska any of their remotes would work with any of their callers. no synching between callers as all the sounds were stored on the caller not the remote the remote ust sent the number of the sound wanted. Lose a remote and just grab the one off another Minaska caller and keep right on calling and just order a new remote. Too Bad they went under, one of the best callers ever made. Lucky I still have two.
