I think it's fare enough, I recon most alarm manufacturers would say the same. The RX+'s are top of the range and price, so one would imagine a superior receiver strength compared to the mid range Mini Micron X, hence being more susceptible to vegetation, height, distance etc. I have been a Fox alarm user since the original MMXR's and would confidently use them, unless you are casting out then going home to wait for a bite, the receiver would be good in any sensible fishing situation. Only one way for you to find out if any alarm on the market meets your requirement is to buy a set and try

It's because they are letting paying customers test them out to find out, standard fox field testing....

they look like a good deal, I just don't get why fox have brought these out with more features than the mxr
are they just doing microns now and stopping the mxr?

it does make me wonder how that can do an alarm for £55 with so many features put a question on what are you getting for the extra £120 on the rx micron

You've only got to look at the amount on here that raved about how good the ntxr things are, only to then preorder the newest top of the range things whatever they are called. Vanity, nothing more

It is a good question though. Both the RX and the Mini Microns apparently have ‘D-Sensing' technology. Is there actually any difference between them apart from possible longer range?

Compared to their other buzzers in the fox range, these do look very cheap and shiny.

Agree, I'd expect the build quality explains the difference in price from these to the other models.

it only takes a few minutes for 2 guys to turn on the alarms and walk in the opposite direction then stop when there is no signal, Fox could have done this just so they could give you an idea of the range.
