Does anyone know the range of the new fox mini Microx X?
Carpology did a youtube video on these alarms on youtube, they mentioned all sorts of features, but not the range. I think this is one on the most relevant things to point out in a video, so the fact that they didn't show this in the video makes me think that it might be poor....

if its 20m then its a no go for me. not because i go that far, but my tent is often behind bushes on on an elevation. If the range really is 20m, that means the signal is too weak for my type of fishing.
The reason why they didnt state the range on the website really worries me.

I really can't see Fox only having a 20m range, they've always had one of the strongest and most reliable receivers, even my old MMXR'S went further than that 15 years ago lol.

Look bang on for the cost
I like the longer ears too, always thought they should make them longer, my only criticism of fox alarms, other than that, been very reliable for me over the years

Cool little alarms i think.
Their basically prologic SMX in different clothes.
I've got the standard ones. Good little alarms for day sessions.

fox dont know their own range....? I quote:
MYSELF---What is the range between the alarm and the receiver?
FOX---Thank you for your question. Microns are always difficult to determine since this is entirely subject to the circumstances.
When around lots of shrubs, trees, etc this can drastically diminish the range. Also if there are power lines nearby or even the weather can have an effect.
We're very for the vague answer but because of all the exceptions it's hard to make solid promises.
MYSELF---The fox rx+ has a certified range in clear circumstances. There should also be one for this model. What is the certified range in clear circumstances?
FOX---Because it is very dependent on the circumstances, we no longer have a certified range for the new microns. If we adhere to a certified range and it is not feasible due to certain circumstances, then we make an empty promise. Our RX + microns have the greatest range, how much this makes a difference with the Mini Micron X cannot be specifically stated.
yes very clear................

Seriously, You think so? a company that cant give any guidelines to the specifications of their products???
How Should I determine if these alarms suitable for my fishing this way? fishing from lodge, or on an elevation?
