I've recently got the txi-d's. V happy with them but would like some advice from users for settings during bad weather to stop the constant false alarms from heavy rain.
Thanks

I thought they had a do not disturb feature designed for this

Have you got the sensitivity turned up max or something? I'm sat by a Trent weir pool now in p*ssing rain and haven't had a single false bleep. I've got sensitivity just under halfway and that's still been plenty enough to register knocks from Roach and tiny Barbel that hung themselves.

You need to think about more than just twiddling dials, it's all about the whole setup and not just the settings on the alarm head . As I've always said, delkims are by far the best on the market IF you know how to use them. The "can't stop wind bleeps" brigade don't.

How could you not know how to use the txi it had a dial and and toggle for +and -The new txi-d might be a bit more of a faff but I hear once set up they are easy enough too

Don't know Tony but many seem to not know how to use them properly ,hence all the "they are crap because you can't stop wind bleeps" nonsense that's constantly been said over the years

Agreed
they are the most adjustable Alarms you can get ! and will cover any situation but you need to learn how to adjust them its not hard some of them dont even know how to adjust he brightness of the leds for day or night use because they dont read the manual

Tbh Gerry I've never read the manual either. It's going back to the days of antenna buzzers , and then things like bitech vipers , understanding how to set your rods and bobbins etc up so get the best from the alarm ,when they didn't have all the adjustment the modern alarms have.

Only thing Delks are missing are the drop back differential function. Then they would be the perfect alarm for me, not sure this could ever be achieved though with the way the alarms are set up with the vibration sensing.

I couldn't care less about drop back differentiation, it just makes people think they know what's going on without even bothering to look for themselves.

If you get a dropback, in what way do you respond differently to a normal take?

Interesting thoughts, I don't currently have alarms that have the function but being almost blind without my glasses I think I would find it a useful function at night. I can also see the advantage when using zigs.

I always thought that untill i got an alarm with drop back differentiation.
I generally fish with a tight clutch. So just fishing a couple of beeps untill the line pulls up tight. You can tell a liner instantly when you get a "beep boop" instead of a "beep beep"
Thats how i fish, and i find it invaluable now.
Maybe every person i know has their delkim settings wrong, but they seem to get liners that sound like full blown runs?

That's the good thing about the TXID's, you can turn down the beep speed so they give you a sensible sound, and you can tell straight away how fast the run is.

They are extremely sensitive but i just can't stop them false alarming with rain even on sensitivity setting 1...
Will use a new set of ATT's next time and if okay will probably move the Delk's on as I just can't do with the false alarming in the rain, wind is not an issue, it's just the rain setting them off. Probably move to Nash R3's.
.. lol.. only used them a couple of times....
