sixhills 69 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi guys which would you pick and why? I have looked at both and looking forward to hearing what people think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulpesvulpes Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I have got a Icotec 350 and I'm very pleased with it, one thing with all these callers is don't get fooled by sales hype into thinking you will need 100+ sounds, I use about 6 or 7. The main thing is that the caller is easy to program and the remote is simple to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Icotec 350 for me . Foxpro is a fine bit of kit ( long as you dont need to set it up more than 100 yrds ) . I have dumped most of the calls and recorded myself with various distress calls . If you can... see if you can get the chance to try both .buy what suits your needs. Edit just to point out that i only really use the Icotec in the winter months . In the summer i like to use my hand calls as the sound travels a lot better on a still night rather than trying when its blowing a gale . If that makes sense .

sixhills 69 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks guys for the info I like that the icotec works further do these company's provide a website to down load calls or is it more you need to find your own?

Redditch Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thanks guys for the info I like that the icotec works further do these company's provide a website to down load calls or is it more you need to find your own?I have an ICOTEC. gc300 and an ICOTEC gc500, plus a Primos Alpha Dogg. Yes the Alpha Dogg is brilliant, but money wise the gc500 is more bang for the buck and works just as well. Both FoxPro and ICOTEC provide downloads, but the ICOTEC are FREE, while you have to pay for the FoxPro calls (you have to pay for the PRIMOS calls too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbiter Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 +1 for the icotec gc500,the customer service alone is second to none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixhills 69 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Just taken delivery of a Gc 500 unit seems great only issue unable to down load other calls as I have Windows 10 and I am struggling to copy calls to SD card anyone use Windows 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outandabout Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Just got a GC500. They added a load of extra calls at no extra cost. It was delivered next day too. Had a quick go with it indoors, and my terrier went for it immediately So far so good, hopefully it'll help me bag a few foxes over the weekend. * Only slight gripe - it could do with a camera tripod thread on the base, to enable attachment to a bank stick or similar. No matter though, it can hang by a piece of string from the carry handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter though, it can hang by a piece of string from the carry handle. Find what thread it is, and glue a small piece of wood to the bottom with the corresponding threaded base. This is what I did with a telescope once, when the thread broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
