Spitfire vs PowerDogg?

[trippledigitss]

I know, not much comparison right?

Anyone have any experience in using the two? I am hearing the Spitfire is not real loud yet still 50% louder than the PD. I like the fact you can change/add calls to the Spitfire. My Powerdogg does not seem real loud but loud enough. Do not like the remote range on the PD at all or lack of call selection. Thinking about buying a FoxPro but dont want to spend $600. Is the Spitfire any good, how about the FireStorm or Scorpion?

A buddy of mine had a spitfire and we did a side by side test at different ranges vs. my FX3 and he took this spitfire back.

The Kanati Tek CX-1 has 98db of volume and will reach out there a long ways. @ $349 right now you can't find an e-call that will do what it will for the price! Check it out. You can put whatever sounds you want on it in MP3 and WMA.

I have the Spitfire and Power Dog. I like the Spitefire because you can get more calls for it. As for loudness, I'd say about equal. I,for one, will not spend $600 on a call that I can do with a mouth call or the Spitefire or Powerdog. I'd rather buy another gun instead. Oh, the sound does carry a long ways, longer than what you might think. I've also got The Johnny Stewart Phantom, junk compared to the other 2.

I have the Spitfire, and it does pretty much everything I want it to do.  I'm not trying to call dogs in from 10 miles out, 1/2 - 3/4 of a mile works just fine in my area, and even then I will cut the volume down so I don't get a bunch of echos.  I don't want all the coyotes in an area to be alerted all at the same time.

Great info - thanks man! I agree, I'd rather spend the money on another gun. I have a tough time dole'n out 4,5,6 hun on a caller.

And thanks to you too guys on the other posts - that is good to know about the volume! I'm gonna check out that other caller too.

i was set on getting the Fury but after trying to justify to myself spending close to $700 (with battery kit and taxes) i don't know if i can. i hunt yotes mainly on the westside so i'm not going to be calling  long range. I'm impressed with what i've heard about the spitfire. Tell me if i'm making the wrong decision and why?

[trippledigitss]

The only real negatives I am hearing so far about the Spitfire is volume and not waterproof. I heard they are pretty compact in size too. They had a boat load of them at Cabela's when I was picking up my Edge .243 day after X-mas. I think they were going at $179 and I almost bought one.

Not water proof? That would be pretty $*censored*ty for the westside....

 :)Go to the Foxpro site, they have sales, there are used units on the Forum, they have refurbished units. You can plug a speaker into the Spitfire if you want more volume.
also try "Allpredatorcalls" site, Andy is a great guy and offers deals too.

Cabelas - post falls had a Scorpion for $230 in the bargain cave.  Previously opened.  That was last week though.

I bought my Spitfire through Dicks Sporting Goods website, found a coupon code and had it at my PO BOX for $179 total.
Cabelas is way over priced.
Try : www.plumrunsportinggoods.com     very reasonable

I ordered my Spitfire directly from FoxPro last year.  This way, I got the sounds that I wanted quicker.  Also, there was a problem early last year with the remote... I wanted to make sure that I had the most current software.

I've still killed twice as many animals with my original green Foxpro, as I have with either of my newer updated models.   Not to say that the newer models aren't far superior.  I think it's just there are many more of them out there.

I picked up the Echo HD from Flextone, works ok, but the critters dont seem to like it. The Spitfire is definitely on my list
