Just wonder ingredients if there's any feed back on these at all yet

I don't think there released until spetember

Its basically the same alarm but made simpler.

In reply to Post #1
Hopefully sort the Dials this time round.

In reply to Post #4
And it's waterproof.

In reply to Post #5
Doubt it

In reply to Post #3
Surely it has more features (it can't have less), so how have they made it simpler? Also, I've never understood the people that say the V1 are too complicated. I've got 5, and apart from initial setup I turn them on and then all I adjust is volume and sensitivity on the dials, press left button to mute and right button to switch between day and night mode. As hassle free as it gets.

Yes they are pretty simple to use I don't find it a problem, it does make me chuckle when folk say otherwise yet they have managed to master a smartphone ?
The trouble with alarms they are an electronic product- do folk after a down pour dry them out properly at home ?

The amount of time I've seen folk drop their luggage onto the ground from a height potentially enough to do damage..

Nothing about water resistance, maybe not a key feature

Video on Facebook talks about the waterproofing used

In reply to Post #10
Just pulled that from a Tackle Tavern e-mail I just received
Personally, I've had my foray into Delks, much prefer my RX+ and the previous RX, thought the info might be of interest

having spoke to people that had the same issues as I had and then getting blocked by delkim on their FB page I am more than convinced the v2 has come around by having to eliminate and iron out faults in the original version.

In reply to Post #11
Love my rx+

In reply to Post #7
I will re phrase that as more user friendly then. Sold my delk d's for ecu super compacts and would never go back to delks. My next alarms will probably be fox's next rx when ever that may be 🤷‍♂️

In reply to Post #12
I am also blocked from delkims Facebook page for mentioning that I had returned mine 5 times because they stopped working in the rain. Really unreliable alarms

I have all the remote versions of delkims and they have been my go to alarms for a long while - however the v1 ds are absolutely shocking - not something I would usually share however I tried the correct route of emailing them and was underwhelmed by the usually good service.

Two of my three were loud when the heads were turned down, the third one went Kate Bush on steroids one day and after that horrific scream died forever. I actually thought it was a brilliant feature, not only did it die and take if last bleep, but it let the whole lake know that it was the end f it's short life.

I have the rxs which I like, but like stu if you are going to look at something for hours on end it may as well be something pleasing, reliable and goes beep when it needs to. Range on mine isn't great but I only ever need 10 yards max. Ecu - white rollers and jobs a good un.

I freely admit that I never understood what bleep speed is.

Why can't delkim just make an alarm with volume and sensitivity control and a receiver and waterproof. I have never used any on the other things they are supposed to have

I went from txis that I purchased in 1999 to the Ds a couple of years back and no problems with either 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I still think a lot of the problems folk have is due to hem forgetting they are electronic products, they are not designed to any military spec nor are they IP rated.

In reply to Post #19
So what you are saying is they are OK as long as its not raining

In reply to Post #19
I still think a lot of the problems folk have is due to hem forgetting they are electronic products, they are not designed to any military spec nor are they IP rated.

Without it turning into one of 'those' threads I've never had a alarm leak and fail, inc my TXi's, in 30+ years, but I can't ignore that rather lot of Delkim owners have. If they're not suitable due to water ingress for outdoor use they shouldn't be sold as such. A image I have stuck in my mind from the Korda vids, Doveys elastic bands on most of his vids, not a good ad by association, even if that's not his use for them.

In reply to Post #20
No problems for me they get used in all weather and many many others perhaps you need to look after your gear better 👍🏼

In reply to Post #21
Unfortunately it's inevitable the more the thread continues, I've nothing more to say.
I'm a satisfied customer.

In reply to Post #23
I don't think your wrong, it's always the way, the amount of satisfied users must vastly outweigh the unhappy ones

In reply to Post #16
My experience of ECU's was pretty short lived, got a set of the super plus used for a couple of day sessions all fine & dandy, next trip out a couple of weeks later switched on the receiver & its dead as the proverbial.

Ok not ideal just turn the volume up on the heads, checked the brand new battery at home totally flat, yes it was switched off put another battery in worked ok.

Contacted ECU & was told it needs a reset, remove battery turn switch to on & leave for 72 hours..one thing at home different thing entirely in a fishing situation.

I don't do social media but saw in a post on another thread there are user groups, a quick google & it seems these sorts of issue are not uncommon.

After the above i had zero confidence in them,leave the battery in & risk a repeat or remove the battery to be sure, not what i expect for alarms that cost what these do.

Back to ATTS for me don't have all the bells but do have most importantly reliability.

In reply to Post #24
100%. The vast majority of delks sold will be working absolutely fine. I've had 3 since launch, now have 5, and haven't had a single issue. Only alarm I've ever had an issue with is Nash R3 that started rusting in the battery compartment even though they were always dried after a wet session like all my alarms.

That list of features on the V2 D is virtually the same as the V1, the biggest difference being changeable LED colours which is something loads of people have requested.

In reply to Post #21
The elastic bands on doveys alarms are to hold his bobbins in place when packed up nice little hack to save taking them off or have them swinging around in transit

Won't waste my time reading this thread.


Can someone confirm the following.

1, Delkim decided to make alarms that work In the rain?

2 Delkim sales hit rock bottom so decided to copy the Fox RX+ as a last resort?

In reply to Post #27

Surprised Korda haven't got him green ones
I wonder how many people thought like me when watching it, a lot I bet.

@Teddybare Won't waste my time reading this thread

Then why would anyone reply to your Q's if you won't read them ...joke

In reply to Post #25
I had similar issues, though mine were nearly 2 years old. Once your confidence has gone its time to move on imo. I am back on trusted ATTs and I wont change again.

In reply to Post #29
Green elastic bands £5.98 it's in the pipe line 😂

It's only a matter of time before Korda buy Delkim

In reply to Post #32
Did korda buy trakker?

In reply to Post #33
Trakker are part of the Cipher Group, inc other fishing brands, can't see them selling to a competitor but could be wrong

EDIT, think what you may about DF but he's leaving the fishing game Carp wise in a much better state than it was and the futures looking very bright for future generations both here and abroad. Would it be so bad for him to buy Delkim...I'm erring to quite liking the idea, if it's being touted.

In reply to Post #33
Korda did the UK distribution for Trakker.

In reply to Post #32

In reply to Post #36
Ooh...Fox better not sit back on their laurels, I can't imagine DF will if he buys Delkim

In reply to Post #30
No good turning up for a session not knowing if an alarms going to work or not just wished i'd known there were user groups before forking out.

Lesson learnt, keep it simple.

In reply to Post #34

Has DF and others like him really improved carp fishing?

I preferred it when there was less gear about to buy, and you had to use your noddle a bit more rather than buying a load of prepacked stuff you don't really need, the sort of stuff that attracts people into angling meaning less room on the bank.

In reply to Post #39
This could be a topic in it's own right. I have no real opinion on Korda products, I use some of the stuff but being a older angler I'm not a fanboy who insists on K, but on the legacy he's leaving, I certainly do, and I'm not sure what argument there can be against it.

Has DF and others like him really improved carp fishing?
Yes, I'll come back to that

I preferred it when there was less gear about to buy, and you had to use your noddle a bit more rather than buying a load of pre-packed stuff you don't really need, the sort of stuff that attracts people into angling meaning less room on the bank.

I couldn't agree more.

Embryo, surely no one can argue with what he's doing? Buying/long leasing waters here and abroad , a lot of them where the previous owners/clubs couldn't afford/didn't want to Otter fence them, sorting that and then leaving it in trust for future generations...you'd have to be nuts not to like that.

Do I hope angling becomes less busy as a past time, yes.
Do I like the state of it now, no.
Would I ever fish those sorts of places, probably not,

but that doesn't stop me from appreciating what he's doing for others, the places he's protecting for angling and I'm not naive enough to think he's not doing it for himself.

He's built a successful business and so far no signs of selling out, I fail to see why I could or would want to criticise the man.

In reply to Post #39
I'm gonna defend Danny here a bit. I think he's done quite a bit for carp fishing and also to raise the game as far as product quality is concerned.

Twenty five, thirty years ago most of the tackle we bought fell apart quickly, whether you love or loath them right from the off the Korda products were always robust and other manufacturers had to up their game. In the 90s the Nash gear was horrendous, and he was getting away with it. But couldn't when he had to compete with better quality.

I also think that the free dvds that Korda did in the 2000s, yes they were infomercials, but they also introduced a lot of new anglers in to things like fish safety, proper handling etc.

The podcasts, especially the early ones were great entertainment and a lot of them were with non fashionable older guys, about under the radar waters, introducing a lot of newer anglers to the importance of the history of carp fishing and who and what evolved it into what we have today.

He's spent sizeable chunks of money on securing waters via embryo and also fencing waters for clubs that couldn't afford it. I think he said in a recent interview that will be left in trust so it can continue.

He's donated all the profit from the Korda Sun protection clothing to cancer charities.

Lastly I do think that he does actually want to help people catch more fish, and yes that means he sells more products, but they also invest considerable time and money into things like the junior carp academies and also they donate a ton of gear to clubs for charity raffles for good causes.

TBH when it's all laid out in black and white the bloke has done an amazing job, has made a good living out of producing good quality gear, not too out there or pony stuff (think Nash Runway etc) and has shown a commitment to the future of carp fishing and future anglers.

However, and it's not all down to him solely, and his predecessors are as much to blame, he doesn't sit too easy with me as my quiet hobby, where you learnt and gained knowledge, thought and made bits of tackle, fished uncrowded venues have all gone under this all consuming, relentless multi million pound ‘sport' which is videoed, blogged, vlogged, flogged to death resulting in the present circus.

So although he seems a nice bloke, savvy and successful, plus is fighting his own health battles whereI wish him all the heartfelt best, I just wish I could turn the clock backwards a bit. Not rose tinted glasses, not Canute trying to turn back the sea, but just sad that the more gentle, more genuine period has gone, and his part played in it.

I've no doubt I'll get a bit of a rough time after this post, but also a lot will identify what I've written and they are probably the silent ( if not majority then the dwindling) element who won't make a fuss.

Sorry to go off the original topic but the thread was going this way already.

In reply to Post #41
I'm not just picking on him, it's why I said DF and others.
I understand what you and Vossy are saying but still think the circus has got too large.

Edit
I think I'm more in tune with post 42

In reply to Post #42
I think every sport amd pass time has gone the same way, look at cricket, a test match would trundle along for 5 days at 2 or 3 runs an over and finish in a draw after 5 days, these days test matches are going 5 or 6 an over and over 3 days with a result, shots being invented,better bats being used, law changes to but a few...I think everything has changed not just in sport but life in general, we're an instant information population where we want things faster, faster results, better technology, new technology and if danny Fairbrass, kevin nash etc hadn't have taken the tackle amd equipment to where it is now and where it will go in the future then somebody else would have.... for the ones who were lucky enough to have seen the times before the korda revolution they have a comparison but there's alot more fishing now I would guess than know no different other then how fishingbwas with korda etc

For us to have fished and seen both sides of the coin I count us the lucky ones, we know how it was before the banks were rammed week in week out, 52 weeks a year,but we're also lucky enough to now use some decent rods,reels and gear etc...are things better now then they were before?? only you can decide that....

All very good points put with clarity of view 👍

There's nothing I could really disagree with.

What I would say is that the more modern and to use your term ‘ post Korda era' anglers would probably be more vociferous in its defence and condemning, using the technology/future/ change is inevitable defence.

Pre Korda ( and Nash//Fox et al) anglers would be much more sanguine and just smile.

In reply to Post #45
pre korda / post korda who cares.....I detest how busy banks are these days, unfortunately it's the hand we're dealt with now. aslong as we enjoy what time we have on the bank thats all that matters.

In reply to Post #43
If I would have addressed everything as a whole I would have pretty written what singlebleep & Andy have, in addition to what I wrote.

I would imagine Kevin Nash, Rod Hutchinson, Tim Paisley, ken Townley and all the others of a certain age would all of said the same, but the circus is now a mega money earner, way beyond what I think even they would and have expected, that's why the likes of investment companies are buying into our hobby.

It's just a sign of getting older imo, 'they' will milk it to death, it may faulter, but as per my previous comment DF leaving waters in trust can only be a good thing.

At the end of the day if you still want to be a pioneeer you still can. There are waters that still hold really special fish here and abroad (and I don't mean size), they're just not talked about and while I didn't like secret squirrels of old I can totally get it now. (there's a irony there)

In reply to Post #25
Im still on my first set of batteries in all of them and the receiver.

In reply to Post #46
We can't use Pre & Post Korda...

What will the Carp Historians in years to come do to abbreviate that PK & pk?

We need to be thinking more along the lines of,

BK = Before Korda
AF = After Fairbrass

I still use and like txi pluses

Is the reciever on the d ,s..better than txi on vibrate mode when it's used with silent heads ,maybe the new reciever has improved vibration /quiet etc ..

My old MMxr,had a brilliant vibrate ,almost a vibe for beep if you get me....whereas the txi just vibes 4 times on one movement ,bleep etc..

In reply to Post #49
After Fairbrass makes it sound like he's dead.

In reply to Post #48
The issue is not battery life its flattening the battery while its switched off & then having to do a 72 hour re-set with no guarantee of success & losing all confidence in their reliability.

Having looked at some user groups not willing to risk further problems.

In reply to Post #52
Cant fault them myself. Know a few people who use them now also with no issues.

In reply to Post #52
How can you perform a 72 hour reset on a bite alarm that has no battery in it!? Was it April 1st when they told you to do that 😂

Just out of interest I had to google it as I have no idea what you have been reading online to come up with that nonsense and the only mention of a 72 hour reset is on a cars ecu which is completely different as the car still has power so not sure what you have been reading! 🤷‍♂️

In reply to Post #54
You have to do the 72hr reset before they pass you to Uri Geller who wipes its memory using a mind trick from California on a zoom call.

“I want you to think your Delkim working. Use the power of your mind. Picture it in your mind, in the rain, working. I want you to believe the receiver works over more than six feet. Really believe it Dave. Now all hold hands and say “work Delkim work”.

In reply to Post #54
Spot on. This thread needs a clear up from spurious, unsubstantiated 'information'.

In reply to Post #54
Got the e mail from ECU here, from the man himself the answer to a receiver flattening its battery whilst switched off is a 72 hour reset with the thing switched on.

Have a look at the user groups the answer to any problem with them seems to be a 24/36/72 hour reset this is ECU reasoning not mine, this from a company whose customer service is supposed to be great.

Agree it sounds like bollo*** which is why i got shot.

In reply to Post #58
It does sound dodgy but it works somehow. It's like a the alarm goes into mute function when the battery gets low or is replaced.

It's just happened to one of mine. Tried it after 24hrs and nothing. 48 hrs and hay presto it's working fine again. Not sure if the alarm stores this feature and leaving a battery out returns it to factory setting.

Great alarms but that's an annoying problem. Luckily I only use 2 so always have a spare with me

In reply to Post #57
Looks like the information is true

In reply to Post #54
That "nonsense" is straight from ECU himself, makes the alarms pretty useless in a fishing situation...24 hour session.. 24 to72 hours to reset hmmm.

Hope yours prove more reliable than mine did or you too may be told to do a reset

In reply to Post #60
Still dont believe it. It would make no difference what so ever how long you leave it if the battery is removed from them alarm head.

******** 😂

In reply to Post #64
Only a guess but maybe there's a capacitor that holds the memory and it takes 72 hours to discharge?
If that's the case then the alarm needs to be designed with a push switch, I good place would be inside the battery compartment, maybe there could be a small hole and you could press it with something like a straightened paper clip. Then the switch would instantly discharge the capacitor without the long wait.

In reply to Post #66
That's how I see it. It must store the setting. It all works still but mine just went silent after a battery change. Tried everything and nothing worked bar leave a battery out for 48hrs.
