Koko, I bought their first model, the X1-A and it works perfectly. I also have a Fury II and just recently bought the new WT. If I could only keep one it would be the Scorpion. If it's not loud enough for you you could always add an external speaker. One item I truly like about it is that you can turn it on and off with the remote. If I knew how to post pictures I would show you how I have mine rigged.
Hope this helps in your decision.

I bought an X1-B a while back as a back up caller to my FX5. I took it out shortly after I got it and called in a few coyotes with it killing a couple of them.
People complain that the caller isn't loud enough for them but I think that a lot of volume is a bit overrated to some extent. I set up a TOA speaker years ago and had it in the truck to put on the Scorpion but after thinking about the ease of sticking the caller in my jacket pocket and carrying it to and from the stand I used it as is and it worked out fine.
Tawnoper talked me into buying a Foxpro CS24C and I'm going to sell the FX5 and keep the Scorpion. I like it that much.
My only gripe is that you have to pull the batteries out to charge them but I see Foxpro is pretty much abandoning the on board chargers in most of their products.

That call was made for you KoKo. Small lightweight and all you need in your shotgun country.

Is this model just like the Minaska M-1? Small, about the size of a decent combo burrito?

Think fitting into a cargo pants pocket.
