Anyone have first hand experience with this model? I am an occasional coyote hunter and don't really want/need a high end unit.

I have one and it is a good little unit. It calls coyotes and like you I use it occasionally or when I hunt alone.
Good Shooting!

It will work fine.
Foxpro has a good reputation and makes good stuff.

I will preface this by saying I have no experience with the inferno. I have used about a half dozen different FoxPros calls, or more. Every one I have used has been excellent. The only reason I have moved up in models is for the better, more readable, remote. If it weren't for my faulty "near vision" I would still be using Hellfires. Instead, for remote readability alone, I have moved to some of their higher end calls. If you are able to read and utilize the remotes of the lower end units, buy those. If you want a much higher quality remote or feel that somehow you are limited by less than 500 or 1000 sounds, then move up to the higher end ones.

I have had mine for about 3 years and it works fine. When you are packed for the day it is light and small and is easy on batteries. I did find that the main power switch on the caller needs to be taped down to preclude inadvertent on position. I use an old arrow shaft w/ a couple of turkey feathers tied on w/ monofilament as a decoy, weighs nothing and is easy to pack.

Thanks for the comments. I guess my main concerns were if speaker volume is adequate and effective range of the remote.

There are plenty out there that are louder but mine is OK except on very windy days. The remote is good out to at least 50 yards which is my usual distance. I usually set mine in a bush to get it off the ground and usually start a sequence at low or mid volume and see what happens.

Thanks for the comments. I guess my main concerns were if speaker volume is adequate and effective range of the remote. It'll be plenty for 99% of situations you will call in. Predators hear way better than we do. Playing too much volume on e-callers is a common mistake many hunters make.

Depends what type of terrain you are hunting...here where im from there is not a lot of flat/wide open land. So the higher end models would be a bit of overkill for me. Inferno has got the job done for me, great unit.
