For frequent tournaments or running a guide service I could see spending the $ on the Burnham. Otherwise I'm just not that rich.
I would have to see proof that it makes a difference before I spent that kind of money.

It doesn't , it's called marketing. a caller that will give you years of enjoyment can be had for less than $500.Marketing specialists know theirs many who have lots of disposable income and capitalize on it, i'll put my Icotec Nightstalker against any caller made and will not be embarrassed.
I wonder where the saying Let The Buyer Be Ware came from. E-calls can make the sounds for you but there is still a learning curve for their use and a lot of people might not realize several of them. The right sounds to be played in what situations, the volume it should be played at, how long should I play it, should I start playing it then stop for a few minutes and start playing it again or just turn it on and let it play continuously. You will get some coyotes, bobcats and fox to respond with any of the calls at any time of the year or time of the day in about any location but to truly be proficient at calling you should still put time in learning about the target animals as well as the prey animals you intend to target. I will do better if I use, say female invitation calls during breeding season when a female coyote would use those sounds. If I use puppy sounds or fawn blats when there are animals of that age group around,I will have better success with them. Not a one of us were born knowing what we need to know, we all learn at our own pace and what we are most interested in learning, some of will become very proficient at some things, but not so much at others. Whatever it is that we choose to do our best at we can put the amount of money and time that we can afford too into it, while we are enjoying ourselves.

Too that end, for the uninitiated, the latter half of this video is pretty good about discussing what sounds to use and when.
100% correct, ULTRA-SONIC is any frequency above 20 kHz. ANY modern speaker will EASILY achieve this threshold.
I have had outstanding success with the Wildlife Tech Mighty Atom and the FoxPro X-Wave, just my .02
I believe that there are a lot of new people out there that look at this site to get help in starting to call, as well as a lot that are very experienced callers that they hope to gain knowledge from so I talk to the ones that are wanting to get started most often. The experienced caller are the ones that I hope will understand that and excuse me for talking about things that they know by experience, over and over again as so many people will start at the last few posts and not at the beginning till they think it might hold useful information for them. Thank You for letting me repeat myself for those that are new to the art.

If I were to go ecall I'd grab a FoxPro from MFK calls because they load their sounds on them for you.
They record their sounds from live coyotes and such, and seem to do it right, I'd find that worth it.
Though I'm still running hand calls and can't see that changing, was just getting the backpack squared away a few minutes ago, hopefully I'll get out this weekend.

I'd venture to guess that most coyote vocals on ecalls are coming from live coyotes and such. I know for a fact that all the sounds on Lucky Duck calls come from live animals, with very few sounds otherwise not from live animals.

I think most of the sounds come from live coyotes because dead ones don't make that much noise.
Sorry, I had to.
