Agree with this - some of the Dalectronics stumpy versions are actually more sensible - just my view on snapping stuff - sh*t can happen appreciated however for me its about TLC and making an assumption on someone (usually correct) - Either way the best way is to view and test the alarms in person then make your decision . . .same as any high price point item

A few of the first one the low battery warning came on very early but they were not draining the battery quickly and the battery still had loads of life in it. Mine had this issue but it was sorted out my fox in no time.

Had RX Digi's for many years and had no problems whatsoever - brilliant alarms. Had a 4 head blue set with the 4th head correctly set up for the 4th rod 👍

I used to fish two venues of which one had platforms so used the roller setting on there and vibro on the other venue. I loved the shape and style of the micron case, in my mind a design classic. I initially coupled them with the Fox illuminated swingers then made myself a custom illuminated set with mostly Matrix parts and hollow stainless arms to take the wires.

For some unexplained reason I listened to the voices in my head telling me that TXI+‘s we're the future so sold the RX's to fund a set. From the off I switched off the anti- theft- pain in the arse, decided I didn't like the night light mode and kept getting bleeps every time I farted in bed on the platforms so had to de-sensitise them to such an extent that the whole point of having them was starting to get lost. Always regret selling the RX's, never regret selling the TXI's though.

Edit: just had a flashback - Chris was that my 4th blue alarm on your set you sold the one I sold you ?😊

£300 for 3 is a fair price with a remote - £340 is a little steep but its a sellers market on these at the moment - keep your eyes peeled and another set will come up

I paid £350 for an immaculate boxed set a couple of years ago.

The ones in Belch's link are £320, they look in excellent condition and worth that.

When I flogged mine about 10 years ago they were about £75 per unit, £60 to mates.

Prices now seem to be £300 = reasonable, £350 plus for mint.

It would therefore seem that they have held their prices well in a saturated marketplace.

Must be a reason for that

Now making me feel the £380 I sold my 4x minters for went cheap! In my defence I had a Toslon 740 to fund and not many UK anglers actually use/want 4x alarms so thought it was fair in the event.

Will only take someone with a brain (perhaps Fox) to bring out a sexier / roller & vibro alarm to drop the prices again (this does not include wolf as its mahoosive and butt ugly)

Wolf are only fraction bigger than rx digitals, similar size to rx+, I've had them all and still have wolf and nev's. Early days with wolf but when you consider they were designed and financed by the same people as the rx digitals and offer the longest warranty of the lot.
Are you sure?
