I have a FoxPro 532b and I HAD a Minaska Big Country Bandit. There are a lot of good things to be said about the Bandit, but I happened to get a lemon. I sent is back a couple of times and the company was more than willing to work with me, but it never worked right. The first problem was the range dropped off due to a faulty chip. Next problem was the battery life which was never nearly as long as a Minaska claimed. Again, I thing it was just my unit. After Minaska fixed the range problem I decided to sell it an bought another FoxPro. This time the Scorpion. I still have the older FoxPro for backup in case the Scorpion fails for any reason. What I really like about the Scorpion is the remote. It has an illuminated digital display. I no longer have to refer to a separate list of calls and enter the corresponding number into the remote.
