What are the Wolf alarms like? I saw them at rhw Big One a few years ago when they were 1st released and was put off by the price and size at the time (plus they were new with very few user reviews). One of my ATTs is playing up again (they got serviced and fixed by Dalectronics last year) so considering a new set

Cheers all

Was browsing options and looking at the Sonik Gizmo2
A few people seem to have some sort of grumble with the head wobbling or something tho...

Dunno perhaps its been sorted now

When you say head wobbling is that sound related or mechanical and where did you get this from ?

The size didn't bother me, function over form and iirc they're not much bigger than the old DXR/LXR, so for those of a older generation nothing new, but in a world of shrinkage who knows, they're considerably bigger than a RX+.
I've only used them on 3 day sessions, there always seems to be something though, and in my case it's the stupid anti theft quack on turn off, and I actually think the minimum volume is too high, I like mine really quiet. Easily avoided, thumb over speaker hole on switch off, and heads on silent. The latter means having to use the sounder which is a pain but hey ho, the sounder has a lower minimum...odd..if the same speaker in the heads.
Can't fault the alarms in use, I like mine very sensitive but I've only used them on 2mm yet, not the vibe, if I go Piling I'll try the vibe.
Had a couple of niggles, receiver latching LED was intermittent on 2nd use, a factory reset sorted it though, and I couldn't adjust 1 of the heads remotely when it got windy and it started beeping, in the end I just turned the dial on the head. When I got home I did a factory reset on the head and it worked on testing. It's early days but I like them and with a 4 year warranty I don't have to worry for a while. The comms from Wolf were fantastic when suggesting the reset. I spoke to Dal (Daletronics) he said he'd service if out of warranty but he'd only worked on 1 so far. I bought a Qi 3 set Hubb and then a Qi 3 set QR as I couldn't find a single head anywhere, so now if something goes wrong with a head I have a spare one in the meantime, I sold the rest on. I picked both sets up cheaply from TFT. Edit, They don't like rechargeable Lion batts.

Can't say I've noticed much difference T but I always have mine on the highest tone. I don't have my RX+ to compare anymore. They'd wake the dead on full volume 🤣

Hi mate

Just research looking around forums and googling.
Perhaps it was limited to the Mk1 variant IDK

With a 4 year warranty, the excellent customer service & prices, it's not a big risk
I saw some bloke selling Qis, think it was £80 each 2nd hand, might as well buy new, think I hit my 3Qi/QR set for £299 from TFT but much prefer the Hubb.
