HellFire remote . I don't understand it mentioned said about ..." to small ' to read the Listed Calls " ? .
When you turn on the Remote on the HellFire . You get a List of calls on the screen and it is printing is in 'small' letters . BUT if you hold and push at the same time, the 2 top buttons on remote . All the Calls listed, Then come-up in 'Large' Numbers in numerical order and easy to scroll and see even night hunting because it is back-lite led screen . All I do is night hunt and I got no problems seeing it .
(imho) . that ( 199 -$ ) for the ( HellFire ) . is still a good price .
I Swear to God, I think ALL Call Manufactures Setup there Remote control distance performance tests on a flat concrete airport tarmac with then standing on chair when pushing the buttons . Because in the real world Hunt, they NEVER even come close .
( ALL ) remotes on all remote calls I have ever purchased over the years are finicky on distance performance . ( NEVER , have I Ever ) got anywhere even near the manufactured factory performance distance reported by any Remote Call I have ever purchased . But never the less, there still a Good Tool to have .
and like people suggested is raise the receiving Call up off the ground a little and it helps . Also ( ALL ) remotes suffer in performance when the Temps. drop lower . then if you drop into temps. past freeze remotes turn into Extreme Crapp unless you keep next to body or use hand-warmers around it .
(imho) , Never run less than a ' Lithium 9v' in the Remote for power . I know the paying the price of the Lithium 9volts sucks and I try to change them out about every 10 hunts . this makes a big difference in Foxpro remote reliability for control on the buttons . I can always count on having a 50 yard Call distance setup .
The way I am set-up though it is like WhatThe [beeep] , I am married to batteries .. I am vested in batteries for NV, IR supplement units , LRF , Therm. unit , and then Call & Remote . I try to get good prices for battery power but it just ..'is what it is' .
