Foxpro Shockwave, remote range cut in half

[lonerezzie]

Good morning fella's,
I just recently had my remote control range stop working past 20 yards. It was working fine and all of a sudden on the next stand it would not reach that far. Any help before I send the unit back in to FoxPro?
thanks,
Kenny

I think you should give the techs at FoxPro a call. Many times, they can save you some trouble.

Im assuming you are using the best batteries you can find? I have a Shockwave and my issues arose simply from a few bad batteries.

I use lithium batteries in my remote. No issues.

Shockwave was sent out and I will give an update upon its return. I use the Duracell NIMH batt.

The great thing about owning a foxpro is you know they will take care of you

No matter what the outcome is I would whole heartily suggest buying a good set of rechargeable Li-ion AA's for the remote. Something in the 2000-2300mAh range. I would use the same for the caller as well if you dont already have a lithium pack.

Night and Day difference!!

Well, it made it back on Friday 12/2 and was sent out on Thursday 11/24. Upgrades were installed on the remote and the call. Remote was tested and giving high voltage readings which was the source of the problem. Caller works just like new. Still under the 5 year warranty and it only cost me $30 to ship out with 500 dollar insurance coverage.
