I've currently got a set of the original Nash Siren RS1's and receiver and fancy a change.
What would you guys suggest as an alternative out of the Nash Siren R3's or the Gardener ATTS's.
What are the good and bad points of either alarms. or is one considerably better than the other?

I've had both and personally think the R3 is better as has the adjustable features.

Crap.. lmfao!!
How? There a basic alarm which does what it's made for.
Ok no fancy extras like some but the price reflects this.
But to call them crap is just embarrassing
But as the question ask. I would agree the R3 does have greater adjustable features so I guess would make them the better alarm.

I've never owned a set of nash alarms but owned atts they do what they say on the tin and found them bullet proof a mate of mine has the rs3 personally I dont like the look of them but that's me and appreciate they may be to other peoples taste if I was looking for a set of alarms I would put a few extra pounds towards a second hand set of delks txi+ which you will pick up a decent set for around 300

Because they have no adjustment at all, because rollers freeze, because wind makes them give false bleeps, because you are relying on the silent head and reciever combo, with no option to just use the alarm, because fish can kite with no indication.... That's how, and there no embarrassment there. Its My opinion which I'm entitled to. And I'm far from the only one who thinks that...

Wow I've never had any of those problems with mine. You must be unlucky? Only adjustable options are the magnet rollers
But if I was rating something crap it would be for the following reasons..
Eats batteries, doesn't work in the rain, leaks in heavy rain, speaker stops working, plastic casing melts, plastic backs crack, falls apart after 2 months, alarm heads lose paring everytime you turn them on, led bulbs stop working, buttons falling off.. etc etc

Not just me chap, others have had those issues too. As for adjustability? Having to get a screwdriver out and change parts isn't what I'd call adjustable. You can call something crap for whatever reason you want, as can i

The kids today just haven't had the education. Us old timers cured the issue of freezing rollers almost 40 years ago when we were all using optonics.
As for no indication when a fish kites, well I have seen that also with vibration alarms. IMO it is nothing to do with the alarm and is because the line is caught in something between the fish and the set-up. Even when freelining the water pressure against the line should cause the indicator to move.

I was using optonics 30 years ago chap so I'm fully aware of that. And after all these years there's still the same issue.... And yes fish can kite and its nothing to do with the line getting caught what prevents indication. If your mainline comes off your rod tip straight to your rig, but then a fish kites and your mainline ends up at 90 degrees from where it started,how can it be? If set up properly a vibration sensor WILL give an indication because it doesn't rely on actual movement, just vibration.

Any reason why you fancy a change.
I had the r1 and now i'm having the r3.
I like both but the r1s have my preference.

I've had the R3' s for ages and they've been faultless in use. Excellent battery life and a receiver that seems to work through dense undergrowth/trees etc. Absolutely no intention of changing.

R3 is a far superior alarm, I've had them since release and have never once had an issue, still going strong and I do 100+ nights a year
I was always led to believe that the guy that made the ATT alarms, had a hand in the electrics for the R3s. That could be a wind up though!

Wow, you really have got it in for ATTS alarms! lol. Strange really, as on the other thread you said you didn't actually own a set. I have experienced none of those problems you've listed in your post since owning my ATTS alarms. If you want an alarm, that goes beep when you get a bite, won't let you down, are waterproof, have a very good receiver, are reliable, then ATTS alarms are great for the money. Other alarms are available, but I'm not going to comment on those as I don't have actual recent experience of using them, so my my comments would be a waste of everyone's time.

i used atts alarms for a couple of years and mostly found them to be good reliable alarms apart from a couple of incidents
i cast straight in front of me with a zig never had a bleep when packing up my rig was in the margins next to me I cant be sure if this would or wouldnt of happened with my txi
when fishing for pike with open bail arms i watched my indicator drop off the line and the fish running and not a single bleep I was using power pro braid as my mainline i think it was to smooth to turn the rollers
Ive never used nash alarms but best m8 has had a set for years and swears by them
Im not in anyway saying atts are rubbish at the time i did as much pike fishing as carp fishing and changed for this reason

I never said I didn't own a set, I have owned a set. If you read properly you will see I said I never had fish kite with no indication while using them. The set I had I bought off here so I had 2 sets of alarms, one in my carp gear one in my cat gear. They were sold on very quickly because they are crap imo
