mode. 

5.  To add another preset, follow steps 1-5.  

 

Playing a Preset

 

1.  Briefly press the PRESET button one time to enter preset mode. 
2.  Press the desired number of the preset you wish to play. Make sure 

that you have preset in place prior to attempting to play it. The chosen 
preset should play immediately.  

 
6.9 FOXFADE 

FOXFADE allows you to fade the volume level of the sound being played 
between the front and rear speaker and allows you shut them off. There are 
three ways in which FOXFADE can be used; mono, stereo, and reversed 
stereo. FOXFADE will provide the best effect when using a stereo audio file 
that contains two separate animal recordings; however, it can be used with 
mono sounds that are being played in stereo mode. 
 

 
Using FOXFADE

 

1.  With the sound playing, press the FOXFADE button on the side of the 

TX-505 transmitter 

2.  Use the selector knob to move the cursor left or right on the screen. 

Moving the knob 

clockwise

 will result in the bar moving towards the 

left of the screen which corresponds with the front (horn) speaker and 
the left audio channel. By moving the bar in this direction, the volume 
level of the back speaker will go down. Moving the cursor to the far left 
and depressing the rotary selector knob will result in the front speaker 
being turned off. 
 
Moving the knob 

counterclockwise

 will result in the bar moving 

towards the right of the screen which corresponds with the back (cone) 
speaker and right audio channel. By moving the bar in this direction, 
the volume level of the front speaker will go down. Moving the cursor to 
the far right and depressing the rotary selector knob will result in the 
rear speaker being turned off. 
 

3.  Once you have positioned the bar in your desired position, press down 

the selector knob one time to lock the change in place. 

 

FOXFADE in Stereo Mode

 

When you are operating the Prairie Blaster in stereo playback mode and 
playing a stereo audio file, the left audio channel will play through the front horn 
speaker and the right audio channel will play through the rear cone speaker. 
Let’s say that the sound you are playing is a coyote and rabbit stereo file; 
coyote on the left channel and rabbit on the right channel. When you enter 
FOXFADE and move the vertical bar towards the left and lock the selection in,
