To be fair, itās about time they brought out a new alarm, not that thereās anything wrong with the RX+ or the MX, but in my opinion they should make the RX+ smaller, essentially try and fit RX into an MX size casing. Apart from the price, itās the one thing thatās always put me off the RX, theyāre so damn huuuuge! Lol

It needs vibe going back on mate, I'm also not for the trend of smaller either.
Fox lost their way with the NTXR onwards, ie after the original Rx, lots of cheaper roller alarms on the market now, it's not what it was, they have to stand out. Otherwise they're having you by the pants for the name and given the present RX+ isn't the most reliable.........

The perfect fox alarm for me would be the MX with LEDs in both ears and dropback differential, but then theyād never sell another RX+ if they did that lol

Don't forget they also need to fix the battery drain on the MX then. š¢

Never had that problem tbh, I used to change them once a year in March just for the sake of it. Think itās probably caused by water ingress issues, but I mustāve had some from a good batch that didnāt let any water in.
Never going to be an issue with 100% waterproof Carp Sounders š

Likely competitor to the Delkim EV-R imho
A bit of a random observation- but we all love new toys and stuff crammed with enough tech to fill a space shuttle, nightlights, changing led colour, vibro, drop backs, tone - volume etc etc. and our carp fishing God uses Nevilleās- screaming cult buzzers that do one thing very well. It would be a nightmare in any other walk of life, like Haaland playing in Dunlop green flash whist Nike try and sell us the latest carbon corrected, ultra balance, hard shot hitting, pass cushioning wonder boots that took 5 years to develop.
Iāve been a Delkim user since they invented the first vibro alarms. But Iām looking to change to something more reliable and the ATTs look to be the one. Iāve realised that all the new bells and whistles are overkill for me.

Had ATTās for best part of 20 years and theyāre pretty much flawless, not to mention bombproof.

People would still buy the rx+ soley due to its foxes flagship alarm. Carp fishing is a fashion statement these days.

I reckon Fox nailed it with the RX Digitals. It was a natural progression from the DX and DXRās using the knowledge gained on these to engineer an excellent alarm.
Why they dropped it I donāt know. Sure some of the earlier models had a few battery drain issues but these were later solved and with age the volume control could lose its definition (potentiometer switch wear) but again this could be ironed out.
They gave the user volume, tone, on a roller alarm set up plus adjustable vibration tone, power out function and drop back indication with a remote function. The actual case design was iconic, it looked good so didnāt need to be tiny, didnāt go sticky and the clip on cases just simply worked rather than tight fitting rubber condoms. Oh and a proper toggle switch for switching them on so there was no confusion if it was on or off at a glance.
Thereās nearly 10 years between these pics, the first is 2006 the last one is around 2016. The rods reels and pods have changed but the alarms stayed. I only got rid of them due to fox not supporting them and no real 3rd party company support at that time.

Totally agree, I used the Rx until the NTXR came out...I should never have sold the RX for those...but I got caught up in the hype.
The RX may have had the odd issue with the roller wheel freezing in very cold conditions but otherwise a great alarm. Presently using the Wolf Qi which has all the features of the old RX, yes it's bigger and has some irritations but I can live with that, is any alarm perfect.
If I'm honest, I can't see anything that Fox could do, that would make me want to buy their alarms again, I also can't see Fox doing anything that hasn't been done before, maybe the yoof will see it differently. Never say never though.
The question in my head is, surely it's not just a cosmetic overhaul led by tik tok influencersš¤

RX Digis were brilliant . . .mine lasted over 20yrs and I've no idea why I sold them (other than making decent Ā£ at the time)
Now a Delkim convert - these new Fox ones are going to have to be smaller, not look like tonka toys, have both roller wheel and vibro, as well as 'do not disturb' and a some more features I didn't know I needed to make me convert . . !

If they have roller and PROPER vibro sensing then I'd not care about size etc. Been too long since we had something on the market.
