Excellent so far.
Be sure they are turned off before you fit the hard case cover. It would have been good it they would designed the cover so it'd only fit when the switch was in the off position, but again the anglers are the field testers, eh...
I use a girls hair bobble to make sure the cover doesnt come off in my rucky, but if you have them in a buzzer bar case then not an issue.

One of mine packed up last week.
It went a bit croaky then stopped working altogether. I assumed I'd left it on, so confidently whipped the back off and changed the batteries. No such luck. Dead. Waiting to hear from the place I bought them from re the Fox 'warranty'. Fingers crossed.

I've used these in some of mega storms recently and still working fine, fingers crossed just a dodgy one for you and doesn't happen again. value wise, could be best on market. sensitivity still an issue if its really windy even on lowest setting. I had rx+ and they are a different beast, just downsized to save some money. i dont think any other brand matches fox right now on the alarm front. RX+ best out there and micron x best value for money.

Have you tried putting it in the airing cupboard to dry out???
Sounds like water in the speaker to me.
Might work buddy

I left it in sunshine in 30 degrees, cover off, battery cover off, for three days. No joy unfortunately.

I had a set of three since they came out. I sold them today to a mate for £100. (I paid £170 trade). At first I really liked them. But I've gone through a set of Duracell in the receiver. And a couple of weeks ago one would not turn on. I had to take the batteries out and give them a twiddle, then it suddenly worked again and has been fine since. Maybe it was nothing, but it worried me.
Before I was with Gardner (who wanted me to use ATTS).... I'd always used Fox Microns. I'd never had these problems with any out of RX, DXR, LXR, in donkeys years of using them previously.
They are great for the money, but not for me.
I purchased a brand new unused 4 rod presentation set of NXTR for £350 from a friend the other day. Hopefully these will be more like my old Microns.

Anymore reviews on these guys ? Thinking of getting 2 and receiver for my short session setup.

I had one from a set of three pack up after about 20 nights of use. The retailer replaced the faulty alarm with a new single unit ... which refuses to pair with the receiver, so the lot's going back. Shame, the functionality is spot on, but they seem to have reliability issues. I'm disappointed.

Can't fault mine so far. Good functionality, imo they look quite tidy and yet to miss a beat. So far very happy with them

I bought a 2 alarm set recently. When I got to the Trent and put the batteries in, found the receiver volume did not work.
Reported to supplier but they seem to think it's not a problem. I also bought an additional alarm to make it a 3 rod set but the additional alarm would not sync with the volumeless receiver.
I bought another receiver and the additional alarm sync immediately but the 2 rod set ones dont sync with that receiver.
Looks like Fox do something with the settings for the sets which kind of makes them useless should you develop a fault.
Not buying any else from Total Fishing Tackle ever again! Lost £179 as they wont replace or refund!

You have warranty, the shop can say whatever they want but if it doesn't function the way it should you have rights...
I would never give up that easily and pay them a visit, and I would not leave until my problem is solved

They are good little alarms, mine have been fine.
If you have a dodgy set then go back to the retailer and ask them if they've ever heard of the sale of good act and if they are familiar with consumer law.
Tell them they are unfit for purpose and you are rejecting them and insist on a full refund.

What's the battery life like on the head units on these. I'm trying to decide between these and Nash Siren R3's.
Seem like a v standard fox product, some good, some bad, pot luck as always.

That's why I always use the tackle box, most items they brand for a lifetime guarantee or would happily sort the fault out no problems
