FOXPRO's new FX3-- For those that demand the best, we deliver.
FOXPRO is pleased to introduce their newest model, the FX3--the most advanced electronic caller ever. This new unit is packed with features you have been asking for. FOXPRO's FX3 features dual speakers, each with its own amplifier, for improved frequency response and increased volume--an industry first! One speaker is located in the front of the unit, and the other is located in the rear, and each is controlled with its own switch. YOU control whether you want the front speaker to play, the rear speaker to play, or BOTH speakers to play at the same time. You can also plug in an external speaker (offered by FOXPRO), and have all 3 speakers play at the same time. Each unit comes standard with 32 sounds of your choice, and features virtually UNLIMITED sound loops with 256mb of digital storage. The built in USB port allows for instant download of sounds—no reader/writer necessary. The FX3 is designed to play mp3, uncompressed wav files, and fxp (our own proprietary file type!) for the highest quality sound ever! The FX3 also comes standard with FOXPRO's long-range TX-5LR remote control--the industry's best remote control. Features of the FX3's remote include the ability to instantly change sounds, 100 step volume control with quick step for ultra smooth transition in volume changes, a pause/mute feature, and the ability to remotely control FOXPRO's Jack-in-the-Box decoy. New for the FX3 is the ability to control up to 3 FOXPRO's independently from one transmitter. The FX3 also features a backlit LCD display on the main unit, sound up and sound down buttons, and a rotary volume control/power switch for control of the unit without the transmitter. Other features include an external audio jack, auxiliary jack (decoy), low battery detector, and a charge jack, which will double as a plug in for an optional power pack (also offered by FOXPRO). The FX3 will operate from 8AA alkaline batteries, but the optional NiMH batteries are strongly recommended for optimum performance. In addition, a charger is available which will allow for a fast charge from a vehicle. And, as always, FOXPRO's FX3 is made right here in the USA!
Even with all of the added features and power, it still weighs in at less than 2.75 lbs including batteries. The New FX3 will be ready for delivery by late summer/early fall. We have also added some new sounds to our library--Luckybird distress(another woodpecker), blacktail doe distress, blacktail fawn distress, male cardinal distress, female cardinal distress, screaming blue jay distress, and 2 Goshawk sounds. We are continually working on adding new sounds. We have also made available some new hats. They are now offered in the Mossy Oak Obsession and the New Mossy Oak Brush with our new logos. Reese lanyards have custom made some lanyards for us as well that allows you to attach our transmitter, as well as 2 other hand calls. If you haven't seen these lanyards already, be sure to check them out on our website. http://photos.imageevent.com/foxpro/fx3/icons/hats.jpg The hats sell for $14.95. We also just got some in without the bright colors in the logo (they blend in with the hat) for hunting, and we have summer hats ordered with mesh in the back. Stay tuned for details on another new caller that we will be releasing that, although heavier, will feature loudness that is second to none!

Hi Mike, congratulations. Sounds like a terrific unit. A result of listening to your customer's requests and working to satisfy them. Good American capitalism. Does Bill Martz know yet?

Mike,
Randy Black was giving me the lowdown on this Sunday. Sounds like another great FoxPro product.

Mike,
Can you post a picture of FOXPRO's Jack-in-the-Box decoy?

Hey Mike,
Could you mention a price, or is that a 'no-no' on the board?
Also,...how about a couple different lion vocalizations?
Thanks,
Bud

To all,
We will begin accepting pre-orders on the new FX3 beginning tomorrow, June 28. Pricing is as follows:
FX3--$489.95.
This is a black unit. If you prefer camo, add $20.00. You can choose from Mossy Oak Brush, Mossy Oak Breakup, or Prairie Ghost Snow Camo.
We will also be offering 8 NiMH batteries with a standard wall charger for $24.95. A fast charge kit will also be available that will provide a fast charge from either a standard wall outlet, or from your vehicle. Other accessories will be available, such as a large external speaker, and separate power packs. I will provide more pricing details on these accessories in the near future.
Please remember that these units will not be ready to ship until late August or early September.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thanks!
Mike Dillon
