Post by wildturkey »

Do you have a clear line of sight?

I dont think the signal is very strong, a clear line of sight is a MUST in my experience. I had to have my buddy move his head a few times on one stand this weekend to get a signal to it.

In the manual it says to get the best range that you should: elevate the caller, raise the antenna, avoid setting the caller on or near metal objects, avoid use near antennas (could cause interference), and make sure you have a clear line of sight from the remote to the caller. I have an FX3 also, and the farthest range I've gotten out of it was about 200 yds, but it was -10 outside also.
