I’m getting old…. I can’t read the screen on my old fox pro control at night anymore. Anyone have recommendations on an e call with a controller with a screen big enough an old guy can still read it?

Thx

Wildlife Technologies they don't have a screen to read, it has a keyboard like a adding machine and you just punch in the number of the call you want. I love that style remote, the old FoxPro tx 500/505 had both a numeric key board and scrolling, I use the numeric keyboard on my CS 24 that's the only reason I still have it. The old minaska callers had the same numeric remote, I'm still using two of them.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

I carry a pair of reading glasses around my neck, the arms are broke off of them. Hold them up to my eyes put the foxpro on what I want -done.
I use them for dialing turret yardage in low light also.
My old foxpro has the analog numbers, it's 15-16 years old.

I use my presets and if I hit the wrong one, it don't matter none, they made my top 10 for a reason.

But I do carry readers just in case.

I had the same issue as the OP. Bought a foxpro CS24C and I can read that remote.

The Foxpro TX1000 remote is easy to see at night, but I guess that subjective to each person’s eyesight.
