Looks like they've lengthed the sides as well. Making it a bit harder for the old rod to slip of on a violent take. Looks a bit like A Nev and ATTs love child..

It just comes with the snag backs as standard now. You could get those before. Only thing different is the speaker.

They have anti rock apparently... This is what dal sent me a couple years ago

"They are pretty bomb proof too, better radio gear than Nev, but offset is the heads are silent (currently, mums the word but I've just designed a new one with audio on )
mega waterproof and the anti rock is a bit better than the Nev one as that is time based, the ATT is actuation based hence the mags both side of the wheel "

The problem with alarms with magnets in the roller is that if the magnet is in a position that it is hovering around the sensor and you have waves or weed on your line it can rock back and forth over the sensor as the line bobs. This gives you big issues with false bleeps. You used to have to manually move the magnet away from the sensor, but any undertow or build up of weed and it could move back again.

If the ‘anti rock' helps with this then they are onto a winner. I'd hope they might put the same tech into the non speaker version, but seems unlikely.

Yep they already have anti rock.

So they've updated the casing to make it more modern and functional and added a speaker..

So no longer waterproof.

Do they come with a Gardner black bag for each head when it rains ?

Did they have the anti rock from the start or was it added to later models? Mine must have been from around 2010 and if they did have that feature it didn't work

I did not know that. I've been bad mouthing the ATTS as useless in any kind of big weather for years but maybe the newer ones were actually ok

It's funny to think that the first alarm to have some sort of "anti rock" built into it was the much maligned Daiwa Sensitron back in the nineties.
