I would agree with you on water and moisture being hard on e callers. The cold is also a big killer of e callers. It sure did a number internally on my CS 24 when I owned it. It's very hard on batteries too.

I have the scorpion and that was all I need with my Verminator calls. I wish they still made them mine is old so I use the mouth calls more.

Foxpro. Choose whatever fits your budget but if you can swing one with the TX-1000 remote, you won't be disappointed. It's the bomb. Lots of presets and you can run a lot of functions without looking down = Less movement and more time watching for in-coming.

Picking an e-caller is a choice between which negatives you want to buy along with the features you want to use.

If buying new and didn’t have contacts in the business, I’d likely hold my nose and buy a CS24. In my case I’d talk with Minaska and likely go with them if I upgrade any time soon.

Like Erich, I’ve had a Minaska M-1 for 8 years or so, still like the features, and like the modular options to upsize the e-caller to fit the terrain of a calling stand on the spot. Minaska has never let me down though their business and marketing reputation is abysmal. It’s the only e-caller I’ve used (of half a dozen) that has never produced the wrong sound when I hit the remote play button. I upgraded internal electronics once but have never sent it back for repairs.

My really old Foxpro has never played the wrong sound but it isn't very loud and has only 16 sounds
