Im going to ask this again, what mics do you guys that use them have success with?
Please don't miss interpret my comments as saying you don't know what you are doing. I am sure you have a good handle on it.
There are others that read your post and may not be as experienced as you are, and might get themselves into trouble if they don't think about it prior to doing it.
The Guy in the story was a top level, Big Contest Hunter, and he was out with his family and accidents happen, and I don't want anyone to go through what they did.
There are a lot of police stores online that sell everything, including the throught activated mic's they work really well and like most things you can buy a cheap call, but don't expect Foxpro results from a $45 pocket call. These mic's are going to be the same thing. I usually just use lip squeek, or a Coaxer to alert my partner when we are apart. I like using it because it not only allows my partner to know what's going on from my spot, but it doesn't scare off anything coming in, and i don't have my ears plugged with something.. There are enough times a year that i hear the coyotes coming before i see them, especially in rough country.
Good luck, i hope you find something that works for you.
