FOXPRO Shockwave Call

Great product I set it out about 75 yards and the hand held remote worked great and it's made in the USA so Buy it A++

This was actually the second one of these. The first one did not work so maybe the company has some quality control issues. For the price you pay for this, you'd expect it to work flawlessly. This second one does work really well. It can be played at quite high volume and still sounds good. I'm not using it exactly for its intended purpose but I expect it would work well for that.I was really happy to discover that I could rearrange the order of the audio files on the device. When you first turn it on, it always starts with the first file. It's easy to select a different file but in my case, I'm almost always wanting to play the same audio. I was able to move my audio file to the top of the list.The product description says you can add your own audio files to it and that was a big selling point for me. You have to download some software to interface your computer with the game caller in order to add your own audio files to it and to manage the order of those. The only weird thing was that the software completely screwed up the filenames when they copied onto the caller's storage. It was easy to fix by editing the filenames once the files were uploaded to the caller but my first attempt at uploading resulted in some frustration when I went to use the caller.The description is a little bit misleading because they say it has four speakers. It really only has two speakers but each speaker consists of a woofer and a tweeter.

Expensive but worth it. READ the instruction manual carefully and like a love letter—slow and often, especially when downloading sounds and installing them. Otherwise you will spend two days like I did trying to get your factory sounds back in order. Don’t use the foxpro numbers. When loading new sounds the first new sound should start at 100 (factory is 0-99). Then just add them and number them sequentially and it won’t mess up your pre-sets. Then use the software to create categories with your numbers. The Mac software is decent once you download Java and the sounds are amazing. First time out I called a coyote (also using the optional woodpecker decoy) right up to the call. Good loud sound. The only thing I would change is that the Jack decoy add on should be easier to attach with a better connector than the flimsy three pin one, but other than that, top marks. I started out with AA alkalines that have lasted three hunts but also got the recharge foxpro pack and the foxpro AA rechargables. All in all about a $700 shell out with battery packs, case, and decoy but was a great bday present for myself. Highly recommend. After using several callers (which were good) this one is the Ferrari. (Get the tote bag too—it is designed for this caller and holds everything).

This is the BEST calling system on the market. The price point is high, but you pay for quality and excellent customer service. This is the 4th FoxPro product that I have purchased and they keep getting better with function and features. The simple ability to point the speakers in the same direction is wonderful. So many times with my Fury I wanted to project the sound in a particular direction but then was unable to use both speakers on it. Not a problem anymore!!! The TX-1000 remote is also a huge advancement from the TX-500. Loaded with functions that make sense to the hunter. That point is key. You can load anything with functions, but key is, are the functions geared toward making it easier for the hunter to use and have functions that make sense. Here is where FoxPro really excels. They do their homework in R&D and leading the industry with these ideas. One last thing, If you ever do have to call FoxPro for anything you will not find a better team of customer support than what they have. They know thier product inside and out and can help remedy any issues that I had.

not as loud as you would expect from the way it looks. Also. FoxPro could do a hell of a lot better with the way they down load sounds etc. should be able to plug in fox pro to computer/ download and then drag and drop stuff. Similar to how you can do with say an iTunes play list. Create as many playlists as you wish, in any order you wish and so on. I run this in tandem with an older fox pro unit. They make good stuff just not state of the art technologically.

The main reason i upgraded to this call was that the remotes are all hard to read in the early light . The letters are simply too small and the background contrast doesnt help much either. This call has a very easy to read and see remote. After I got the call and started pouring threw it, it became clear that it is one heck of a call! I have 20 presets on a preset page and i can play any two of them at any time . I can pause one sound or both. The order you play the sound determans the order they pause. All sounds are in a catagory to make searching for the sound you want very easy to find, and the call comes with 100 of them already on it. The call can be programed at home for preset (hunts) that you can put together yourself on the computer an add to a list on your call. It takes a few practice runs to get it like you want , but once you get it , it is easy.The call plays MP3 and foxpro sounds. I have not tried to find the max remote distance yet, but it will work at 100 yards in a field so far. I hunt alot of predators year round so when i find a weakness or another strength ,I will update my posting.

Battery life is great. Performance is like no other. Great value for the money. And the sound quality is on another level. I highly recommend this product to everyone
