I fished in the storm a couple of weekends ago using the TXI-D's and slimlite bobbins, with sensitivity on medium and fairly tight lines. It was rough as hell with waves lapping over the bank and constant heavy rain, and I only got 1 bleep (which I assumed was a false indication) all night. I didn't even bother using the do not disturb function.

I was tempted to buy the new Delkims but tried a slow drop back at Carp Zwolle (you know, the ones that didn't get any registration on the old dells), and the new ones also didn't register a slow drop back. I had that once and lost a fish. Didn't like it.

I can't understand for the life of me why people need the advice of others to make a purchase like this.

If you like the RX+ like I do then buy them.

If you like the TXd then buy them.

Do you really need someone to hold your hand while you go in the shop ?

Or is it coming on here and throwing a grenade in the room that gets you off ?

I had a brief fling with Delkims a few years ago. I really missed the drop back tone that was on the Fox ones that I had replaced so I sold them and got NTXrs. I now have RX+ which have adjustable leds, which was the one area that I disliked on the NTXrs (they were far too bright).
For what it's worth I think the RX+ are about as good as it gets.

Perhaps he wanted to discuss pros and cons which is fine, it is a discussion forum after all. I certainly research products on forums before i buy to see if there are issues.
Both alarms are excellent, just depends if you prefer fox or delkim..
good to debate the merits of both.

There's a 20 odd page thread about the new delkims still on the the first page... And we need another one?
Ok crack on let's see how long this one takes to get locked then.

Cheaper option; put braid on your reels. You know if a carp farts within a yard of the hookbait so no need for fancy-Dan gizzmos!

You don't have to read or even post on the thread Derek.

Threads only get locked when posters are Dirks.. (see what I did there!)

True Ken but sadly not all places allow braid usage!!!

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
