I was pondering the purchase of a foxpro and was trying to determine whether the Scorpion, Firestorm or Fury was the right purchase. I was leaning on the Firestorm, but I was curious if it really gave any advantage over the Scorpion. The advantages are a little more obvious with the Fury, as it provides the additional memory. any help or insight you can give me woud be much appreciated.

I bought mine for the size, but then found out that I can hang it on a coverall strap and my body heat keeps the batteries warm. I moved the jumper to turn off the internal speaker, and run the cord out to the external speaker. (a Foxpro SP-55) Better volume with the SP-55 too! I've seen batteries die quickly in a Foxpro FX-3 after it sat out in the cold for 15 minutes. Another guy told me his buddy's Fury will do the same after a while in the cold.

BTW--Those calls you sent me came last week. Thanks! The one I'm keeping for myself sounds great! I hope my little buddy gets his front teeth by the time his birthday gets here next month. :chuckle:

If you use the NIMH batts this will no longer be a issue .
