But how to reach that magic setting in the first place.

Take out phone or pad, look up the manual. Start fiddling about,...

Here's an idea,... just a tiny on/off switch and get the rest sorted out with bluetooth via an APP.

Even the dinosoars are walking around with Smartphones theses days!!

Got mine yesterday - 4 (in blue) with Receiver, Slimlites, Snag Ears and D-Locks

First impressions are that they're really very good! Love the compact size of both the alarms and the receiver, and the way that they seem to be put together. Everything just seems ‘tighter'. The snag ears stay put, the battery cover looks like it'll keep the water out, and even the redesigned belt clip on the receiver means the clip will stay in place (I must have lost half a dozen of these for my RX Pro!!)

Also liking the customability (if that's a word LOL) though it's initially a bit of a learning curve. The included instructions are very good, and I think Delkim have released a video showing how to set them up. I think that once you get them set as you like them, then there won't be much fiddling required on the bank. The stuff I'd want to change whilst fishing (day/night LED mode, vibro alert, beep speed, volume, response; etc) is all a single button push or the turn of a dial - seeeemples

I've had my Txi's for a long time and love them, but these feel like a BIG step up!! Can't wait to hear them warbling (at tone level 61 LOL) on my next trip

Same as mate got mine very quickly and with no hassle with AD.

Does your receiver have a strange rattling noise if you tap it against your hand? almost sounds like the internal aerial is a spring of some sort and moves around inside the receiver....

otherwise very pleased with them, the difference in build quality compared to the TXis is higher, not much bigger than a Nev and infinite adjust-ability.

New D locks fit perfect and are compatible with the old feet, and the backs are screwed on now so none of the old problems with battery covers. I got the snag ears too and they also are spot on.

LEDs are stupidly bright, glad you can dim them a fair bit.

A little complicated initially but once your used to them very well thought out in my opinion

Yep - same rattle with my receiver. Almost certainly a spring type of antenna (in fact, I think I've seen an exploded view somewhere that confirms this)

I agree that the settings have been well thought out and are pretty intuitive

I've also been playing around with the range settings, and got to say these are a HUGE improvement over the Txi+

One other point. In the instructions, it states a standard 2 year warranty, but this extends to 3 years if the product is registered with Delkim. Can't see where to do this on their website, so have emailed them for instructions. Just awaiting a reply.....

Delkim have confirmed the website will be updated to allow for product registration - possibly this week

I also asked if all user settings are retained when swapping out the batteries and they are, providing the batteries aren't flat (or out of the alarm) for prolonged periods - i.e. months!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
