Thought I would try this out but foxpro is the way to go. This doesn’t work very good in cold weather nor does the remote work very well with the call 50 yards from you if there is a hill or trees between you and the call. I have a lanyard for the remote and during a couple hunts the buttons were pushed by mistake from my jacket and totally ruined my hunt. Would definitely consider a different product.

After much use I have run into a few issues but first I’d like to say I love that the side speakers can be moved and angled to suit each stand. I would also like to say the expert hunt sequences are well done. So the first few issues are nothing other calls haven’t failed at that being said the remote holster location interferes with caring the speakers unless you carry them backwards and even if you could tie the box to your pack the remote would not stay put. Second is that there is no good way to secure the call box to your pack if you can’t or don’t want to put it inside. Third if you leave the Hunt/list your currently playing to adjust settings and then try to go back to the hunt/list the market that shows where your at in the hunt/list if gone. Forth and more importantly you have to have good line of sight to the call or the remote looses signal that the call your on will stop or just loop play that sound. This happened to me while in a flat meadow with tall dry grass less than 100 yards from call. Last is that to get more calls you have to pay nearly $2 per call... that’s outrageous and because it plays a proprietary file type you can’t record your own calls or sounds to play.

I am very happy with the quality of the alpha dog. It is very loud and has a good range with remote control. It has lots of different tracks to play. It worked the first time I ever played it and I was blown away. I would recommend and buy this product again

Great, right out of the box. The only issues I have are some clipping on a few of the pre-programmed recordings and a potential week point where the wires for the battery pack come through the case onto the battery compartment. Very loud, easy to use. Are there cheaper callers out there? Yes. Are there better? Not in my opinion.

So far, so good. I read a lot of reviews before deciding on this call. This call is loud and has great volume. I use it primarily for predator hunting and it has a pretty good variety of calls. The remote distance is good as well. I have probably used this call on six separate occasions so far, for 1-2 hours each session and am still on my first set of batteries. I like how compact it becomes when transporting the call. I like the programmed hunts, but have had better success just calling on my own. The price was also a lot better than some of the FoxPro calls. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase. Also, just a note, I saw some reviews about static in their call... I broke the speakers in before cranking up the volume. The speakers go to 100 and typically 40-45 is substantial for my hunts. I played the speakers at 10-25 for a couple hours before reaching 40 and have not had any problems with the speakers. If I do get static in the speaks, they look relatively easy to change out and buy some new speakers.

I absolutely love this call. When shopping for an ecaller I had a few expectations. Price, ease of function and weight. Price wise I think it's very well priced for what you get. Compared to other brands that are comparable, this one takes the cake. Ease of function is what truly sold me. The remote is great. Very easy to navigate the options. Backlight is good and easy to see. Remote size is comfortable and easy to reach all the buttons with just my thumb ( I have larger hands). Sound quality is very good in my opinion and very loud. As others have stated certain sounds get a bit distorted at max volume. The EXPERT hunts by Randy Anderson is another big reason why I got this caller. I absolutely love this option. You can create your own call sequences but I mostly use the EXPERT hunts. Size of the unit is compact when folded up and easy to carry around. The two side speakers swivel for direction and the sound goes through the different speakers in a panning effect. Some reviewers said the speakers give out but like with any speaker you need to break them in. Don't just put the volume at 100 the first time you take it out. What I did was start it at 50 with a pillow over the speakers at home and slowly raised the volume. This thing is damn loud. Since doing the break in period I've never had a problem. My only gripe with this unit is the folding legs. They seem a little wobbly and the unit could fall over if not properly stood up but maybe you could tighten them. Overall I am very satisfied with this caller and would recommend it to anyone or replace if need be.

I tried to crank this up in my living room and almost could not stand the level of noise when turned up close to max. It was very loud and clear. I was shocked at the clarity at the higher volumes. The unit folds up into a compact unit and the remote stores on the back with a secure connector. The side speakers fold back and the sides/legs fold up over the side speakers. The side speakers can be angled to direct the sound in one or multiple directions. The remote worked fine from about 20 yards. I was able to figure out the menu system without reading the instructions. I also added audio fines on from my PC by simply dragging and dropping to the Primos folder when it was connected to my PC. The Pro Hunts are great and take the thought out of what to do or how to combine calls at the right intervals to get the best results. I'd like to see more Pro Hunts available for more species. Overall I would highly recommend this system.

I bought this call to upgrade from a flextone echo which is a good call, this one just has more features. I got the call, threw some batteries in it and went out for one stand before it got dark. I didn't see any coyotes but the call sounded great and the expert hunts seem like they should work great. The next day I decided to go out and give it another try in a different spot. I started off with the cottontail in distress hunt but didn't have any luck so I switched to the mating hunt. About 5 minutes in I had a big male coyote coming in straight down wind of me. He got about 40 yards from me and I did my part. I have been coyote hunting for several years and have only called in two coyotes on at least 100 stands, not what you would call great success. In two stands I called in a coyote. I'll be hunting more this weekend to see if I got lucky or if the call really helped.As far as volume goes(because I know you hunters want to know) don't turn it up all the way in the house, you'll be sorry. Out hunting I could hear it echoing on coyote vocals. When locating some coyotes I had them going crazy at least a mile away. It's loud and crystal clear even on full volume. The remote seems to work good, but I've only had it out 40 yards or so.Update: 6 years later and it's still working but I don't get to hunt as much as I used to.
