Jay,
Will Foxpro be incorporating this feature into the TX 200 remote?

No. The upgrade would be for the TX-500 remotes that operate Fury, Prairie Blaster and CS-24 models.
edit: Aslo for the Scorpion X1B model and and the Firestorm of course.

I keep seeing ads for a device that emits an ultrasonic sound that supposedly deters dogs from barking. Dog barks. Transmitter is activated. Dog shuts up. Or, doesn't. Same technology? I figured out that they outfit the remote to pick up the gun's report. Admittedly, I'm impressed and intrigued how they retrofit a receiver device into a transmitter. I guess nothing more than a high-power transceiver, eh?
Like I said earlier, 12:00...12:00...12:00...,
That's me. LOL

I have no freaking clue.
My techno savvy only wants to know if it works, not why. I really didn't intend this to become a commercial.

You push a button the sound comes on!
You push a button it gets softer or louder!
You push a button it changes the sound!
If it does that 99%of the time I'm happy
Those are the three things I NEED it to do. I can decide the rest. If it doesn't do those things I don't carry the SOB.
If all I need to do is punch a button when and if I want a sound after I have shot one of multiples it hasn't been a problem.
Hoping it's going to work off a sensor in hunting conditions is putting more faith in it than I would have in it. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. I kind of like having that control when I think I need it. It's on a lanyard around my neck it's not to hard to find.
What if it doesn't come on when you want it to. Is the remote in the FoxBang mode locked and the feature have to be turned off to get the regular remote features to work? I guess you could try shooting again!!
I guess if the finding of the remote and getting sound to come out of your caller quicker after the shot is an issue, you would find value in this. I thought this was one of the selling points of this new remote, it's ability to play sounds with the preset feature quickly after the shot. I've got that on the WT remote, never use it.
Should sell some callers and get some cash for the updates thou. Adding more coyotes?
Hats of to FP and the marketing staff, looks like it is working.
But then I'm a WT guy, who gives a shit!!
I would like mine to play, NICKELBACK'S "I WANT TO BE A ROCKSTAR"!!!

You know what Al, years ago had they had the sounds or the volume I may have owned one.
I am quite happy with my long term useage of the WT and have no need for additional sounds. The sound libary, remote, and volume have filled my needs and expectations.
I understand the excitement the FP users must be seeing with the additions to it's libary and developement of it's callers. They must be seeing an increase in responces etc. vs, the old sounds and callers. Good for FP and their following.

Randy, I am pleased your experience has been good with your W.T. unit. You are obviously a good hunter and seem like a guy anybody would enjoy hunting with. Foxpro has come a long way and there is a lot to be pleased with. Good hunting at ya.

Randy my understanding is you will be able to turn that function on or off, it won't always be on.
Yes I feel it will add coyotes as your going to be more accurate and ready for a quicker 2 nd shot by not having to remove your cheek from the gun stock or look down at the remote. You set what sound you want and it comes on, will be very handy and will offer them no movement what so ever on your part. If it is 40.00 or more then too much 20.00 or less then a great deal.
FP has come along ways and WT has nothin on them anymore, I have heard the atom next to my Cs-24 and I can tell no differance. Remember I have used both the WT sounds and FP and Minaska so I can make a informed opinion. Meaning I have seen the reaction from all 3 sound brands. Also FP has 2 of the best sounds I have ever used and they flat out work and on that 2nd coyote you should see the reactions from them when you play the X factor sound!!!!! Really amazing and consistant reponses. Brings them out of hidy holes really well for the plane too as they could attest to that!
Just more technology everyone has a choice to use it or not. Just one company is quicker to come out with inovation than others I guess?
As far as responses never had an older FP caller, I know what they do now as of the time I became an owner and that is what matters. FP is moving full speed ahead while a "certain" company drags it's feet on the notion of allowing an open system or not, we all knwo the reason to drag it's feet but will the pressure get to this company or not is the question. I just find it ironic the answer so far has been working on the software to protect it's sounds LOL, FP has done that a few years back, light years ahead is changin to lightyears behind LOL.
Randy plus of you want nickleback on your atom you need to send it to "Doctor feel good" ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) to hook you up with a 10.00 charge I'm sure. With a FP you could have say 100 songs of your choice on there in a matter of a few mintues, could have 40 call sounds and then nickelback and lady gaga if you like ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Plus by next year Ol Bill should be having a solid run on more sound sales as with the WT sounds now added on (3) 5 and dime type caller offerings before long everyone will have the WT sound liabary to choose from meaning new sounds to be needed in areas of high use. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Admit it after reading my post it had to make you laugh just a little didn't it??????? Just givin ya a hard time. I know your just smilin and wavin at us poor lost FP souls ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Where I do agree that Technology is a great thing most of the time,I do think it does get alittle ridiculous sometimes.Foxpro is definitely on the cutting edge when it comes to new gadgets for this and that,but unless you're a field staffer you will always be spending money trying to upgrade to the newest and greatest thing they have to offer.
Case in point when the state of the art FX3 came out I bought one.Great unit for 400 bucks but not more than a year later they offered the FX5,better remote more sounds yada yada yada,so I upgraded for only 200 bucks,thought that was great.But a year later a new and better unit came out but had a new and better remote again and wasn't compatible to the FX5 so if I wanted new Technology from Foxpro I gotta Pay for it.
And Just about every year they come out with something new and better but again you're going to pay for it.So I have just decided even though theres alot of great ideas out there,My out dated FX5 ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) still calls coyotes pretty well and I can never stay on top of the game unless I mortgage the House.LOL
And what's really interesting to me is that my $8.00 hand calls still seem to call a hell of a high Percentage of the coyotes I kill every year
Good Hunting Chad

IMO, Foxpro's being progressive does not cause any of the customers a problem. I had a FX-3 that I upgraded to a FX-5 for $200.00 and considered it money well spent. I still think the FX-5 and its remote is a great unit and will serve its owner well for many years. The advances to FHSS technology, Foxbang, The Jack Attack, and an improved sound library are typical of a company who is doing its homework. The members of the Field Staff help evaluate the advancements, helping Foxpro and their customers. All in all, its a win win situation.

Yeah, well. That's the deal. Al, or anybody else can hustle Foxpro, or anybody else. It's a simple reaction to the many misdeeds of PM. Huntmasters does not have a moderating staff to badger and delete anybody that is not a paying sponser, etc. I'm hoping that it makes PM look petty and chasing a buck?
Good hunting. LB
