I got one off e-bay from China. It is 8gb and seems to work good. I didn't need 8gb but got it for 15.50 shipped. Don

I got to believe an MP3 player is better/easier.
VarmintAl web site has downloadable calls and even sequences.....

I put one together and tried using it a handful of times without luck.  Need more time to try it out.

I made one like varmint al's but only used the Radio Shack amplifier. It was loud enough but I don't think it sounds good with animal sounds or music Cd's. (correction, loose wire causes static) sounds ok now.

I commendeered the son's IPOD when his Mom got him a ZUNE.  I use that with a Cass Creek Big Horn speaker amp combination.  Gets the sound out 50 ft from me.  I then have my pick of over thirty calls all displayed on a screen.

A small MP-3 would have done just as good, but the IPOD was just lying around, so I grabbed it.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
