Returning customer - FoxPro Shockwave Game Call Speaker System

I have been hunting predators for the better part of 15 years and have used various electronic and mouth calls. My last electronic cal was FoxPro Firestorm which l “fried” when l allowed batteries to leak out, so l needed another call. My only negative remark for the firestorm was that as you needed it to carry the sounds farther, the sound became distorted and screechy. Firestorm certainly addressed that and made a huge sound quality improvement in their Shockwave model. Another great improvement was the new remote control. The sound bank and settings are much more intuitive and easier to access and navigate, and the buttons are illuminated with an ability to brighten or dim them as necessary for daytime vs. nighttime hunting. The increased “reach” for the remote control and directional speakers are also a great improvement compared to the older Firestorm unit. Some things that do strike me as serious concerns “needing improvement” are that the battery compartment door is loose fitting and seems to not provide any protection from elements. I can see snow or moisture enter the unit easily and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Another rather flimsy characteristic is the design of the rubber hinges holding the speakers in place. The rubber is loose and I expect it to get worse over time. For the unit that costs so much, the craftsmanship has degraded compared to the unit that is 10 or more years old. Another thing that could use improvement it the color of the unit. The unit almost appears to be painted with “glow in the dark” color and while it may be easier concealable during the snow on the ground months, it appears to stand out from the surroundings during the times when there is no snow. Lastly, the unit is big and nearly impossible to carry without bumping into other equipment if you are carrying a tripod or your gun on the shoulder strap. I gave it a 4-star rating because of sound quality, expansive sound bank to up to 1000 calls, the remote control functionality, and the remote control reach, but overall it feels more like a 3.5.
