FoxPro FX3 or FX5 ??

Post by Dave »

I was just getting ready to order a FoxPro FX3 and learned that they now offer the FX5. Is it worth getting the newer model?

I got my FX3 upgraded to the FX5 and it's worth every penny to me. I have 82 sounds loaded so far. With the 4 presets I can choose my four sounds that are just right for the setup and their volume and set it up quickly without turning the caller on. Or when calling I can alternate between two sounds with different volumes back and forth with the recall button. And now I don't have to remember the #'s. I made it hard on myself, every time I heard a sound I liked, I would get it and have new #'s to remember.

Thanks. I stopped in the Hamburg PA Cabelas store yesterday and picked up the FX3 - they were sold out of the FX5, but I had a coupon and gift certificate to use up, so I took the FX3. I hope to get out over the holidays, and have not had much success with mouth calls.

I'll look into upgrading later.

GAJOE, say you got the fx5 upgrade? Did you have to return you fx3 remote or could you keep it? I have the fx3 and need to return for repairs. It has problems with the Usb port and I was thinking about upgading to the fx5. How many sounds do they preload at the factory? I know it will hold 200 sounds but how many do they preload?

DOGKILLR,
Yea, you have to send in the remote. They will add 18 more sounds of your choice to total 50 as on the new FX5's. You can give them a specific order that you want the 50 sounds. I would choose as many of the new "Mark II" sounds as would be useful. They are real high quality.
I got mine back in less than two weeks. You'll love it!

The upgrade is the price difference. About $200.

Reluctantly sent my Fx3 back to Foxpro for the Fx5 upgrade. I also asked them to download a list of 50 new sounds instead of the 18 they usually add to the originals. Some of the original sounds included things I wouldn't use like elk calls. Hope I am happy with them, they sounded pretty good on the test site but you don't get to listen to much.

Around $450 for the FX3 & another $200 for the FX5.

It is digital & has a 700yd remote.

The FP's & the Minaska e-callers are as good as they get for around $5-700.

I just drool when I hear about these E- callers. :mad: Electronic calling is not allowed in Alberta (not sure why) so we have to do it the ole fashion way with the mouth blown calls.

Gube-- Has anybody tried lobbying the local government on e callers? I know those hand calls are gonna get the best of your hearing at some point in time. They are very loud & very close to your ears. Thats another reason for going with the e callers. Ohio has allowed them for deer also now but not turkey.

Glen - Havn't checked into it yet, but I plan on making a few phone calls and sending out some E-mails to see what we have to do to make this happen. Dealing with the govt is frustrating due to the red tape and the bleeding hearts. I will probably start off with some of the local fish and game clubs and local MLA's.

Thats as good a place to start as any. If you can generate some interest then you can get some help. There's nothing worse than one person fighting for what many will enjoy. It's not right & Best of Luck to you in this. And remember,, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. It's time to annoy some people!! :wink:
