Title: E Caller with most remote range? Maybe a modified system?
Post by: Bronson on January 10, 2022, 10:06:17 PM: Might have been covered before, but I didn't find anything in search.

I'm looking for an e calling system that has the most range for remote control. Most that I have found, at least somewhat reasonably priced, max out at 100yds. I've found one that goes to 300 but direct line of sight.

Looking for something that goes out to 300-500 yards for the remote. Any thoughts? Maybe modify something with a different remote/tx/rx?

Thanks
-Bronson

Thanks wacoyotehunter, I'm talking about electronic predator calls though not a dog collar.

I've walked away from my caller to walk around a bit,after an hour of calling ,sometimes I get bored and will go walk around within a half mile or so. It just plays and plays.
It also lets you know how far the sound is going.
I'm just using fox pro cheap.
