Is it only Delkim that have this feature? After anew set and want vibration but will have to sell an internal organ to afford them

Have a look for some used TXi's or EV's if you don't require a remote setup.

The new EV-D's are £60 each if you don't need remote.

The ACE i3's had a vibration mode as did one of the older Fox top end alarm (I believe it was the LXR that had the vibration sensing mode)

I thought the DXR did as well but was not 100% certain.

X2 ( Henglesport ? )did an alarm that was a blatant copy kf th efirst vibration sensing Delkims.
Pretty sure they were stopped pretty quickly though, so probably about as commo as rocking horse poo....

The Bitec Micro worked exactly the same as a Delkin from back in the 90s.

Great alarms ,as ever wish I hadn't sold them .

Is this Delkim patent ever going to expire?
Never known one to last 30 years

Just bought a cheap set of Carp Spirit HD3 alarms only £80 for two heads and receiver, the heads are silent but the remote has a double switch function for sound or vibrate can change the heads to any of the usual six colour options on the head by adjusting the wheel and pressing the programme switch on the receiver, quite natty little alarms with plenty of features for a relatively cheap price

Aren't they the things what someone on here bought and returned soon after due to all the problems they had?

Possibly don't know but name an alarm that doesn't have problems, time will tell but all all I can say is if they play up or go wrong for £80 I'm not going to have a melt down will just return them.

I seem to remember multiple problems in a very short time. Think it might have been euroboybobbin who had them and got shot pretty quick

Seen that he had HD5's one did not connect out the box and the others had poor signal?

I've not had that issue with the HD3's so can only comment on my findings, like I say for £80 for two heads and a receiver I'm not overly bothered they are a cheap set of alarms that I bought as a 5th set for a two rod set up that will be thrown in the side pocket of the holdall and probably get knocked about, saves the ECU's two sets of Fox NTXr's and Fox MX microns getting destroyed .

Yeah something like that, I know his gamble backfired quite a lot. 5 sets of alarms? Love a toy then lol. I've only 2 sets and one of those is only for nostalgia

I use fox rx micron digital..bought about 10 years ago..and I love em..I use the vibration setting when snag/locked up fishing...switch between roller wheel or vibration..lots of choices..wasn't a fan of delkims for a couple of reasons..cant believe that fox doesn't incorporate this feature in their new alarms..I fished with a friend with delkim txi's and we compared loads of tests and the fox could be set more sensitive than a delkim...rain will set a delkim off but a fly would set my fox's off if on the sensitive setting...when its windy I just switch back to roller wheel...I've often seen these for sale on ebay 3+ sounder box...faultless.
