I'm looking at getting one but I Have a few questions. First, what is an e-caller exactly? How do you put diffrent sounds on one and how much does it cost? (sounds) I'm looking at foxpro but I really don't know enough about one to think about buying it. Its mainly going to be used to call fox and the random coyote or bobcat. I have a johnny stewart, but its falling apart and I've had to repair the speaker wire to many times. I was looking at what appears to be the cheapest one they make, but again I'm clueless as to how they operate.

Thanks,
Cody
 
Ok, from what I have gathered through hours of looking ect. An e-caller is a caller, wireless, that has sounds downloaded onto it from a computer, rather than cards. The foxpro sounds can be bought for 16 for 25 dollars and some can be had for free, right?. I'm thinking spitfire, looked like the way to go. So, with what I have gathered talk me into, or out of a spitfire! I've heard goood and bad reviews, but from experience, there are a lot more bad reviews made than good ones, not saying its a bad caller but most people happy with it won't say so but most unhappy will be heard. If I'm going to spend 200 dollars to shoot a few little fox and hopefully some bobcat and coyotes I want to be happy with my caller! Lol

Thanks again.

The spitfire is a great beginner call. I called this coyote in with my buddys spitfire when my Western Rivers wouldnt work.

Pretty much any caller that uses batteries can be called an E-Caller. The "E" in E-Caller normally means Electronic. Your Johnny Stewart is considered an E-caller.

I know nothing about the Spitfire other than what I've read here. Seems most guys are pleased with em.

Probably your 3 best choices for an economical wireless caller would be Spitfire, Flextone or the Johnny Stewart PM4. Each has pros, each has cons.

Pick your poison.
 
Just my $.02, Spend as much as you can, When you get up to the higher end FOXPRO you can put more sounds on, and you can hook decoys up that can be run with your remote, The sound quality is great. I went from the Johnny Stewert wired speaker that you have to the FOXPRO CS-24 and I cannot say enough how much I love this call. I can down load extra calls from my computer for $2 each.

Yes, An approved decoy device such as the FOXPRO, Jack-in-the-box or Jack Attack decoy can be plugged into the AUX Jack port on the Spitfire.

Look at the Flextone echo er1 from wildlifecallers.com. $116.00 and I haven't had any complaints with mine. You can't add sounds to it though.
 
I thought that was the case as far as using an approved decoy. I use a mojo so I did not know for sure and didn't want to mislead the poster.I wanted to put out there that this caller has that option also not just the "higher end callers" if this was a selling point to them.
 
we ran the echo last night was really cold worked flawless the remote reached to 175 yards or better on a few stands....and it lasted the night....

had 1 taker the whole night...big old bob...and the seasons over for them here....

for 116.00 or whatever they are there a good built call....

as far as buying the most expensive...a homebuilt call will call as much fur as any call in the right hands...

and will play in cold when other callers wont.....no swinging arms like a cheerleader trying to get your remote to work etc....

you have to use the right call for the right situation....and the ecaller is just 1 tool of the hunt...but are helpfull...
