After having my TXIs pack up twice on me in heavy rain and having to have them resealed I got rid and bought these Nash alarms and have been VERY impressed with them, I have fished in torrential rain/thunder storms and had no problems at all plus no more false indications with them, also I like the way my indicators fit straight into the alarm, no need for hockey sticks..........

I think I will be happy with these😊 false bleeps on delks r horrendous.. going off just lifting rod up sets the other 2 off even in minus setting!!

I have been looking at these myself and visually I am not to sure about them, not being a tart but they're kind of ugly looking. The one Con I have heard is how fiddly battery installation can be, any reports on this?

I think to find fitting the battery fiddly you'd have to be the sort of person that buys ready tied rigs for the same reason.

Id also like a few more reviews - been a delkim man for years, but after a new set and stuck between these and the TXI's. Nash say the R3s have a 3 year warranty which i like the look of.

I don't recall it being tricky - which probably means it wasn't!

Any more long term reviews on these alarms? Looking at getting a set. Any niggles or annoyances with them?

The fibre optics indicators are crap lol they don't curve and sit right like you would expect. I've not been for a few weeks but still happy with the alarms, they do everything you want very well the receiver range is much better than delkim. The only thing I would prefer would be a dial for the volume and tone that's seamless rather than like 5 settings but it's only a personal thing and maybe it's because it a more reliable system. However they do everything I want an alarm to do so still happy!

Don't plan on using the optics. With the 'sensing' stuff aside are they sensitive enough? No control over this bothers me a little. Are twitchy bites indicated or just recognised by the alarm as drifting weed? Also a personal thing but how low does the tone go? Despise the high pitched chavvy tones. Thanks.

I have swapped from my Delks this year the the R3's. I really like them they are not perfect but they are pretty good and I don't regret swapping at all. As for your sensitivity question you don't have to worry about missing anything on the highest sensitivity you won't miss a thing! In fact I would like an option to make them less sensitive! Once you get away from the look of Delks I actually think they look quite cool. The tones have a good range from quite low to very high pitch if you are that worried I can probably make a quick video if anyone is interested? So far the battery life seems good and once you are used to it they are very easy to operate. I actually really like the fact it is all buttons rather than dials. Overall they are a solid alarm and from my experience more reliable than Delks. If you want to know anything else let me know!

I have the original RS1's and really love them but no doubt will upgrade one day, a feature I like with the RS1 is that the receiver only has one tone - high - which is great for me as I wake much quicker to a high tone even at the lowest volume, but want my heads on the lowest tone possible. Is this the same on the RS3?

The tone on the receiver matches the head

You can have the alarms silent if you want too and only have sound from the receiver.
