Curious, I was looking on eBay and found an amp for Johnny Stewart’s old cassett players. It looks like it must attach sepperatly between the call and speaker. Has anyone used the amp? Is it required to get good high quality sound out the speakers? How is the quality of the sound out of these older cassette players

The sound from the J/S cassette callers is excellent. Tens of thousands of crows have been shot over them. Most cassette callers will provide enough sound to pull crows in from a long ways away. Oddly enough some cassette callers for whatever reason are louder than others. The amp makes all of them louder, it plugs into the charging port and the speaker port. You plug the speaker into the port on the amp and turn it on by pushing a button, a red light should come in if it is working. The cassette callers are heavier than a digi caller and tapes are getting harder to find. They run on sealed lead acid batteries that can be recharged, with fresh batteries they will run all day. We still use them and make our own tapes by recording from a CD.

I have the amp for the digital Pray Master, it’s ear deafening. It can reach out a good 5 miles in the Dakota’s, Minnesota areas where there is nothing to stop sound. The only draw back is the ecos it produces. When coyotes would answer during the call I would barely catch them responding. If it’s to loud it will spook a coyote or fox. I’m sure it’s the same with Mr.Crow. As his brain is far more complex. From the reserch that’s on line from the leading experts, a crows brain and thought process is very similar to the human brain. It’s well worth the upgrade, you just have to sit longer and wait because of the distance he now has to travel. During his travel time he will get sidetracked and become curious from other ongoing activity. Or just hang up 2.5 miles away. It’s frustrating to watch with a spotting scope.
