Many alarms have mute buttons now a days

I think he is saying that the lowest setting excluding mute (which they have) is too loud.

I bought a presentation set of RX digitals (all blue LED, vibration and roller sensing) for £229 from a tackle shop in wigan about 15 years ago. They had the updated writing on the front and no battery life issues with the receiver.
Sold them as the dials were so tight you had to use pliers to turn them and the vibration sensing was pretty crap.

Even secondhand £229 from a tackle shop seems too cheap. Sounds like you were sold a duff set.

they really weren't 'in fashion' around that time and I think I picked up a major bargain.

Fkin so annoyed I sold mine. Always wanted the basias so got some, now want ISO's again. Had mine over 10 years and made money on them though!

I have an SXV on my office desk in front of me, it has a roller.
I just whizzed a piece of card across the wheel and can hear it still spinning for a second or two after...
I still have my original DXRs. Mine are S.A.H. stamped so they got sent off to Tackle Box for a service a year or so ago as the battery connectors were on their last legs. Zero charge and posted back to me. All working fine after 20+years
Also (from Fox) still got perfectly working sets of
Micron M's
NTXR's
and the recent RX+ (2 of which have been poo and had to be sent back/replaced)
Yes it was Paul from Fulcrum designs (originally a partner with Phil @ Angling Technics) who done the i3's for ACE (got 10 of them on my other desk here too, keep meaning to sell them. They were my favourite alarms, but didn't have a power out for illuminated bobbins)

I wonder if Dalectronics could add output sockets?

He probably could, but I have alternatives nowadays
When the i3 first came out I used them for everything, and the lack of socket wasn't an issue as I never did like the big illuminated Fox swingers back then.
However, when I started river fishing I liked having the illuminated swingers as I might have rod #1 20 yards to my left down the river bank and rod #3 20 yards to my right.
It was far more obvious which way I needed to run when I was woken by a run.
Note: This was a while back, I think the EA have a 3m from your rod butt rule in more recent years...
That's when I could no longer use them (i3's) so I swapped to my old Fox DXRs
