FOXPRO FX3
Features:
 | All solid-state, no moving parts. The sounds
are stored in permanent 100 year memory. No motors, belts,
gears, or cogs. |
| Completely self-contained and hand held. No
sound cards, cassettes, speakers or wires to fuss with. |
| The FX3 features dual speakers, each with its own
amplifier, for improved frequency response and increased
volume--an industry first! One speaker is located in the front
of the unit, and the other is located in the rear, and each is
controlled with its own switch. YOU control whether you want the
front speaker to play, the rear speaker to play, or BOTH
speakers to play at the same time. |
| You can also plug in an external speaker (offered by FOXPRO),
and have all 3 speakers play at the same time. |
| Each
unit comes standard with 32
calls of YOUR CHOICE, and features virtually
UNLIMITED sound loops with 256mb of digital storage. Click
here to check out the HUGE library of calls that are available
- You pick 32! We Load the calls and ship your unit.
|
| The built in USB port allows for instant download of sounds—no
reader/writer necessary. The FX3 is designed to play mp3,
uncompressed wav files, and fxp (FOXPRO's own proprietary file type!)
for the highest quality sound ever! |
| The FX3 also comes standard with FOXPRO's long-range TX-5LR
remote control--the industry's best remote control. Features of
the FX3's remote include the ability to instantly change sounds,
100 step volume control with quick step for ultra smooth transition in volume changes, a pause/mute feature, and the
ability to remotely control FOXPRO's Jack-in-the-Box
decoy. |
| New for the FX3 is the ability to control up to 3 FOXPRO's
independently from one transmitter. |
| The FX3 also features a backlit LCD display on the main unit,
sound up and sound down buttons, and a rotary volume
control/power switch for control of the unit without the
transmitter. |
| Other features include an external audio jack, auxiliary jack
(decoy), low battery detector, and a charge jack, which will
double as a plug in for an optional power pack (also offered by
FOXPRO). |
| Easy operation even with gloves. |
| Excellent low temperature operation, down to
-40 degrees. |
| The FX3 will operate from 8AA alkaline batteries, but the
optional NiMH batteries are strongly recommended for optimum
performance. In addition, a charger is available which will
allow for a fast charge from a vehicle. |
| The FX3
features one of the industries best 5-Year Warranties. As always, FOXPRO's
FX3 is made right here in the USA! |
Works with the optional FOXPRO
"Jack-In-The box Predator Decoy
| Click
Here to see a video clip of the new Jack in The Box decoy (takes
about 30 seconds to load on a dial up modem - worth the wait).
At the beginning of the video, you will see the decoy at its
normal speed. Then, the switch is selected to change the decoy
to a fast speed. The decoy features a switch that will turn on a
speaker that will play a rodent distress sound to the motion of
the decoy. There is also a switch that will allow you to turn on
an LED light that will illuminate the decoy for night time use.
There is a jack on the base that will allow you to connect the
decoy to your FOXPRO to give you the ability to start the decoy
with the press of the AUX button. A second press of the AUX
button will stop the motion of the decoy, and also stop the
rodent sound. There is also a delay switch, that when activated,
will delay the motion of the decoy for 60 seconds. While in the
delay mode, the decoy will move for 10-15 seconds, then rest for
5-10 seconds, and start again. The decoy can also be used
independently (without the need of the your FOXPRO remote).
Testing shows that battery life is about 60 hours in the fast
mode, and much greater in the normal mode. The decoy is
configured to operate on 4 "C" alkaline
batteries. |

FX3 Questions & Answers
|
Will the unit hold up to extreme cold
temps? We have taken all precautions to ensure that
the unit will operate very well at cold climates. The display on
the unit is the same one that we are using on our TX-5LR
transmitters. These displays feature a high / low temp fluid for
extreme cold or hot conditions. Every component that we have
used in the units are industrial grade parts. Since our
beginning (10 years ago), we have been aware of the need for our
units to operate in very low temps, and we have chosen
components that will operate at very low temps. |
|
Will the Jack Plug In's be protected
from moisture intrusion? The production molds will
also feature jack covers to prevent mud or moisture from
entering the jacks. These covers will stay on the unit, and not
be just a plug. |
|
What is the approx battery life?
If you leave the unit on at medium volume with one speaker
playing, you will get approx 5-7 hours of operation. With 2
speakers playing at medium volume, that time frame will go down
to about 3-4 hours. These are just rough estimates. Since both
amplifiers are identical, the current drained from the battery
to operate each speaker will be about the same. Remember, that
the total amplifier power output is 14 watts RMS with both
speakers driven. Battery life is cut in half when operating both
speakers at once. The front horn speaker will play louder
because reflex horn speakers have greater efficiency than do
cone speakers. However, the cone speaker is able to reproduce
frequencies outside the limits of a horn speaker. FOXPRO also
will be offering external power packs for those that require
extended run times. The user will also be able to connect an
external 12 volt battery (car or gel cell) that could give days
of continuous use. |

Ok great, I get 32
calls of my choice, is
there a way to get additional FOXPRO calls/sounds for the FX3?
Yes,
FOXPRO will offer the ability to purchase (download from the
Internet) more calls in increments of 16 calls for $20.00 from their
library of calls. These calls can be downloaded & stored on your home
computer and swapped out with the calls on your FX3 by via the
the USB 2.0 plug-in. Revolutionary idea! -
Allows you to manage and swap-out calls on your FX3 or even
customize the calls on the unit as per your desires and the target
prey or predator you're after. |
|
What are the options for rechargeable
battery packs? FOXPRO is offering 8 AA NiMH
batteries and a standard wall charger for $29.95. The charger
that is used on non-FX3 FOXPRO products will not work with the
FX3 (battery voltage is different on the FX3). The NiMH
batteries that come in this kit are 2500mAh batteries. |
| Will an optional (3rd external) speaker
be available? Yes, a new external speaker (Model
SP108Z), that has
proved to be much more efficient and with smoother frequency
response will be offered. This large external speaker will sell
for $74.95. FOXPRO has worked very closely with a US
manufacturer for this speaker (It is Made in the USA!). |
| What
is the procedure in replacing sounds on the FX3 / Let's say you
wanted to replace just one sound do you remove the sound that is
all ready there? If so how is that done without changing
anything with the other sounds? Do you have to reformat & if
so which format are you using? It will be very easy to
replace sounds on the FOXPRO from your computer. As stated, the
FX3 has a USB port built in, and we provide a USB cable with
every unit. When you plug the USB cable into the FX3 and your
computer, a prompt will come up saying that FX3 has been found,
and then you click to get to your sound list. Every sound on
your FX3 will be assigned a number and a name. The numbering
sequence will be from 000 to 031. This is a total of 32 sounds.
If you want to change sound number 15, just click your new
sound, and drag it into the new sound list. Then, all you have
to do is add the number 015 in front of your new sound, drag out
or eliminate 015 from your old sound number 15, and that's it.
Your new sound will now be in position number 15. FOXPRO also
has a free utility that will allow you to print out a new
sound label for your FX3 at that time. |
| Is recording-volume something we need to
consider with the FX3? With my FOXPRO 416 and PG-1A adaptor, I
sometimes had a difficult time getting my sounds to be the same
volume as the rest of the factory-installed sounds. How does
that work with the new caller? How do we make sure the volume
level is comparable between our sounds and factory sounds on the
unit? Also, the PG-1A would "clean" the sound as we
recorded onto the unit. Is there any feature such as this when
recording onto the FX3? You still have to pay attention
to the volume of the sound going into the FX3. For example, if
you put in a very low volume sound into the FX3, it will come
out a low volume sound. If you put in a sound that is too loud,
then it is possible to have it go into distortion. Some people
prefer to have sounds in their unit at different levels. For
example, some want their rodent sounds much lower in volume than
say a rabbit sound. Because of the improved sound quality of the
FX3, it will not "clean" up the sounds as the PG-1
did. This is because the FX3 can playback the very high and very
low frequency content in sounds put into it. |
