The UPS fella brought me my FoxPro Scorpion this afternoon. I've only played with it for a few hours, but I figured I'd write something just for the hell of it.
Pretty small unit as described on their website. Doesn't lack much in terms of volume though. I had it on half and could hear it over the howling winds 40 yards away. The remote is probably the best part. Trying to select sounds on that little screen is tough, but with 4 preset buttons I don't think it will matter. I'll probably try and reorder the sounds on there at some point and trim the list to those I'll use most often. Since 100 sounds come with it I put everything from deer to ducks on the list.
The only downside I can really forsee at this point is that it just flat won't work without a remote. Unlike the FX3/FX5, no remote means no call with this one. There aren't any controls on the unit itself. Everything, including turning the call on and off, is done via the remote.
The case looks like a Pelican case, but on the bottom it says it's made by Otter Box. Model 2000 specifically. I've never heard of them. Their boxes are supposed to be waterproof and even float, but my guess is with the holes drilled for the speaker and such that all goes out the window.
I'll put it up next to Brent's FX3 this weekend and see if the sound is really the same. Now I just need to put on a decent carry strap and get some good batteries.
