It would react very differently underwater due to the water creating resistance to movement.

Had the RX+ for 2 years, used weekly.

No issues and very decent on batteries.

I had fox RX+ sold them and bought 2 sets of Sonik Alarms, which have been faultless and have more features.
I wouldn’t pay the ridiculous prices for Delkim or Fox

My fairy liquid bottle tops are better than any of these..

They go up the go down, completely waterproof, no batteries, buttons, knobs which I know some members complain alarms are too complicated…

I bought some Sonik ones after some feedback on here, superb for the money

What I dont get with a lot of the alarms, the body work just feels cheap and nasty ffs

There was one problem and one problem only with Fox alarms for me, and that was the battery connection wires used to go brittle and break, but I think they have done away with these now.

Still using my STR digitals for carp

The newer mx alarms defiantly ain’t bomb proof seen a few problems with them battery drain problems . I had problems with them myself alarm was draining the battery when switch off and when the mx alarms do go wrong their scrap as their plastic welded together at least with the RX+ their fixable as they can be taken apart

I was a long term Delkim user . I had txi-d alarms for over ten years , and the more recent alarms for a year or two .

I loved Delkim and didn’t think I would use anything else . I had a few issues and finally decided enough was enough . I bought for rx plus , to be honest , my plan was to try them and if I didn’t like them sell them and go back to Delkims. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing a trick after hearing all the good feedback about them .

I will never use Delkim’s again . The fox alarms are far superior in every way

I was going to buy a 3+1 Delkim Txi-d V2 set tomorrow (Mini micron x set now), but it seems like I'd better not do that.

I was on the og Fox RX Digitals for over 20yrs (and they remain an excellent product tbf) and swopped them out for v1 TXIDs . . .never had a problem with them . . so much so that I own 2x sets and a pair of v1 EVDs for barbel bashing. Don't know why there's so much hate for the new Delks . . .the only thing that would make me 'possibly' revert back to Fox would be

1 - Make them look less like kids Tonka toys (the design is appalling and the heads are bulbous) The plug-in bobbins also looked like they've been stolen from Toys R Us

2 - Bring back an improved, adjustable Roller & Vibration sensing tech (like the og RX Digis / Wolf alarms) so you have ultimate situation control

3 - Integrate more functionality via an app or similar (smart remote) so that ALL controls can be adjusted / pimped / fiddled with from the comfort of ones bivvy

Until then its Delks all the way - more carpy 'innit . .

I must’ve been lucky then. I had 7 heads and 2 receivers (3 rod and 4 rod sets) for years and never had a single problem with them. I know they’re plastic welded shut like the mini micron x’s, but if they don’t go wrong, it’s not an issue I guess. I used to religiously change the batteries in them every spring, just for the sake of it and never was forced to replace batteries, I just did it for peace of mind. I couldn’t even tell you what the low battery warning was like, as I never saw/heard it?

Apparently so, no release date last time I asked on here.
I'll be very interested if so.

Isn't this claimed for the last 3 years on here?

Nothing planned since they had it on the DXR alarms .

I can’t see them offering it again they are firmly on the roller wheel camp.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
