My Homemade Predator E-Caller

[@PaulOgie]

I built one of the el cheapo calls shown on a different video and it sucks. I think your amplifier would do a much better job and I like the cooler idea. Maybe I'll have to modify mine a bit because the one that uses the mini amplifier from Radio Shack sucks.

[@jenwallace1766]

Very cool! Nice job!

[@jeffrissinger3633]

Have you had any luck calling any in? I have one made but different amp might need to up the amp to get the sound out there.

[@kellytrosper2020]

I've only brought 1 in so far. Not sure how far out he was when he came in. I saw him at about 600 yards and I dunno if he smelled us or what but he never got curious enough to come in any closer :(

[@rhondacain4886]

how much was the battery, an speaker?

[@barrywaite2386]

Hi Katrosoper just curious it's hard to tell but I'm following ur build ordered everything a while ago but have a question did u use the two ferilite rings the amp comes with on the speaker wires

[@JA-fy1bn]

Hmmmmmm...... been considering this myself using an old Minaska remote caller but was looking at hard cases. I definitely like this idea much more.

I used to Vox walkie talkies with a old dewalt radio with auxiliary input. Plug cell phone in other side and can transmit signal to radio.Walkie talkies are rated for eighteen miles line of sight.Bam!

[@Gokywildcats11]

Can you post a link of parts you used

[@IronheadStakebreaker]

Have you shot anything over this? Im excited about this im about to order parts. I bet it would be a good snow goose caller too.

[@CBK559ONSLAUTS]

Like for the 15 bones

[@fanodogg]

Good idea to make it prtable wih the cooler

[@dansdeadbugz]

weird camera movement bro.

[@jarodmorris611]

Where did you find the DTA-2 Class T amplifier? I found it on their website, but didn't find it on Amazon.

[@Shakerbuilt]

I got a extra one i'll sell ya $25.00 includes shipping. e-mail me

[@imbucky26]

Got any pictures of the board with everything mounted to it? What was the name of the place to get the MP3?

[@kellytrosper2020]

I downloaded all of them.. Just google search and you'll find a few sites you can DL from.

[@_yeahbaby]

are u still happy with this setup? any changes from what you originally posted?

[@kellytrosper2020]

Yep, battery seems to last forever. So far so good. It's stupid loud. A ranger told me he was upwind and could hear it for well over a mile. He was kinda thinkin maybe it was too loud. I guess the key will be seein them as they approach and then dialing back the vol. I dunno, still learning the tricks of the trade.

[@tannerchickering]

Nice idea! One question - did you use a voltage regulator between the battery and the power leads on the board?

[@kellytrosper2020]

Nope, been using it for a while with no issues. I wonder if one is built into the amp?

[@Shakerbuilt]

I just built this same set up myself. My volume doesn't blow me away though. Figured since the speaker is 8ohm its only doing 10w but if you run it 4ohm its 15 watt. I got some cheap mp3 player but its just not loud. any suggestions?

[@jedwards1143]

were you using the same 12v battery as him? wanting to build this myself but i want to make sure i order all the right components.
