So the RX+ have been faultless since i got them. No issues, actually liked the roller wheel after years of owning delkim txi+.
As with the RX+, the styling grew on me, wasnt particularly keen on either at first.
Side by side, the txi-d is smaller than the RX+. It looks a little more purposeful than the RX+, however i dont dislike the look of them. Build quality delkim have really upped their game. The screw on battery cover, the aerial housing, all an improvement on the previous model. For some reason they are still using the wired battery connector, as in the previous model, which although only needs touching when changing the batteries, is still a week point that im sure they could have designed out.
Both alarms are solid, and both have their own merits in terms of looks. The RX+ do look huge when side by side though.
Features wise, the RX+ is pretty simple in comparison to the delks. 3 position switch, off/on/night mode. Volume tone and sensitivity, and brightness and led colour change. All have an individual dedicated button/dial. The delkim however initially seems quite complicated, press 2 buttons on/off, access set up mode to change tone, beep speed etc. However once set up, response and volume are the only dials you really need on the bank. Colour change leds would improve them, yes they arent essential, but why not have them.
The receivers are what they are. Foxs again is simpler, switches to do simple things. The delk seems unnecessarily complicated to do something that dedicated switches could do, but again, once set up, volume is all you need on the receiver.
The delks are currently sat on my banksticks, once the fish stop getting freaky, ill take them out for a session and see how i get on and come back with my thoughts.
As it stands at the moment though. I will likely keep the delks. Are they better? No i dont think so. I have just always been a delkim fan, and think i prefer the look out of the 2 alarms

Just cleared all my history and data and that hasn’t made the codes work on anything so guessing they have dropped them codes now. Shame as I almost exclusively use TFT as them codes always seemed to work

I think it’s because they have removed the codes due to it being included on Delkim items and they are breaching the rules set out by Delkim to all retailers.

EBay doesn't work for me anymore either. If you Google discount codes for TFT then you will get a current one. 10OFF worked for me last week.

Mmmmmmmm

Sort of get the delk pricing bit and good luck if they can get which they can as it's product driven
The product is strong, very strong to be fair, the competition is roller wheel so zero alternative.

Bought the wife a mini Cooper New a few year back exactly the same zero movement they were not interested, mini don't seem to have suffrered to much for sure, same with porshce who are the masters of supply and demand.

Used to fish a lake at 148yrds full of weed and tightish to an island, 4.5oz lead and cranked the mono until it pinged took about 10mins to do, sat it on the delk and caught more than my far share, they are brilliant for that
They could pick up something going on that no roller wheel could, the new foxes may be do though by the sound of it.

Just sold my atts by the way superb bit of kit and kept 2 of the 6 with a receiver for sneaky stuff.☺☺so know how the rollers work.
