No typo! I drove away, and left my client next to the caller. Drove 1/2 mile and stopped and tuned it on. Drove a mile and it worked great. Drove 2 miles and it worked great. Drove 3.2 miles and it worked great. I could hear the coyote howls very clearly from 3.2 miles away. Turned around and went back to the client. WT advertizes the remote to work from a mile away, and it does. I guess mine works a little farther. Up untill that time, the farthest I had used it was .7 miles. My client/student has a WT also and told me his had worked at that range and I didnt believe him, so we did the experiment.
Silverfox,
My unit weighs just under a pound with battery. this does not include the speaker. I have 3 different speakers for my caller and one of them weighs just under a pound also. My back up(which I have never ever had to use) unit weighs around 4 pounds with battery, as it is an older unit. I also have another unit that weighs about 7 pounds with battery and amp. The newest unit that is coming out soon is even lighter, but does have a heavier battery. At least that is what Bill told me recently. I have to laugh when some guys think that 4 pounds is heavy! A JS512 weighs about 7 pounds or so and that doesnt include the tapes for it. I have packed it around for many years before the WT came along.
