Now that you made the switch to stereo, you'll never know until you put together an 8-pack and give it to the guys with a PB or a Scorpion/SP55.
For sure, the stereo callers are a big improvement standing around the tailgate after the stand playing Moody Blues or Dire Straits. That's where jukebox mode comes in handy.
agreed... but how can one be certain those critters could not have be called with mono sounds? For 50 years now mono was king in this industry with lots of critters to show for it.
even you liked mono sounds...

The guy with a commercial ecaller needs a 44.1 Khz 16-bit sound encoded as a 320 Kbps MP3. No offense, but in a perfect world, where even the rabbit cooperates, I like a 55 second loop with 2.5 seconds of silence at each end so I can count the one-minute loops on each stand without having to move and look at my watch. I'd make the sound mono, not stereo or two-channel (now that would be actually 160 Kbps) so it takes up half the space on the flash memory and half the time for the download.
and...

All speakers are not created equal either. I tend to like monaural sound, single channel amps, and one single speaker on my rat squeak broadcaster, but that's just me. Stereo-style is fine too and a jillion critters have died coming to converted car stereos and boom boxes. But when I rigged the caller on the truck using a TOA CA-130 p.a., I tested several speakers in a very unscientific fashion. The ear test. For some reason that TOA speaker is ))LOUDER(( than the JBL's, the Panasonic, and the Radio Shack speakers I tried and it didn't matter if I used one speaker, or two, wired in series or parallel. The TOA won hands down. Two coyotes showed up during the test. From the barking out on the back 40, even they picked the TOA! I suppose that gets me back to my original speaker sensitivity question. And that's why I said all speakers aren't created equal.
