I'd like to get a good electronic caller. What's everyone using? Pro's and cons?

Just got a Primos Alpha Dogg caller for $189 and a $30 mail in rebate good thru the end of Jan. Rogerssportinggoods.com is where I found this deal. Have not had the opportunity to use it yet but it is a great price for this unit. Tom

FOX PRO, but save up and get the fury, the wildfire is ok, but the extra bells and whistles of the fury, (or the one a step below the fury) are worth the extra.
The ability to download other songs and integrate a decoy right onto the call is a deal.
Learning to use the other functions like foxbang, and being able to run two calls at once is a super bonus

Check out foxpros Fusion its very nice. I have a Fury GX7 and its nice too, but after this season ends I'm gonna be upgrading to either a Fusion or the Shockwave.
I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!

I'm partial to Minaska calls, I love how simple the remote is to use. I've tried foxpros over the years and just never got warm fuzzy for them. Good thing they resell good because I keep trying them and end up selling them, I do have à CS-24 that is working out OK but use one of my Minaska M-1 Bandits most of the time.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.
Make mine a Minaska

Besides TomA, has anyone used the Primos alpha dog? The $160 after rebate on a $400 caller seems to be a good deal. I'm just starting to get into coyote hunting and want something that will be durable and I won't need to upgrade in the near future.

Bought an Alpha Dogg with Christmas $$ from the family. The second time I played with it out of the box, the remote would not synch with the caller. I called Primos CS and they stated they didn't have an answer and for me to take it back to the store for a refund or exchange. I got the refund and purchased a FoxPro Shockwave. Yes, it's more money but from what I've read, their CS seems to be heads and shoulders above the competition as well as the quality of their callers.

OK, I appreciate the input. Looks like a FoxPro is in my future.
