Welcome to the club, pull up a 'commode chair' and help me finish this Horlicks.

@ T&K

Why have I got the image of a CF Social, 1 peg with old gimmers on mobility scooters dribling horlicks, and another peg with younger folk talking English...but not as we know it!

At least you could tow your barrow I suppose!

I've still got my optonics, tucked away in the garage. I ended up with stainless mounts and carp ears. Pretty sure it was a 9v battery but I can't remember, I wished they had a remote sounder box I got fed up with the wires being a trip hazard 😂

Dalectronics can convert them to wireless remote

He can indeed. I was chatting to him earlier in the week, said I'd get a new set of old RX if I could and he said don't limit yourself to just RX as he could convert the SXV.

I've decided to go the Wolf QI route and I'm really looking forward to it. I love the idea they're made in the U.K and are basically a modern RX. Im also not bothered if they're slightly larger than norm.Total of 4 year warranty, their customer service appears excellent, and by the time that's up hopefully the new Fox alarm will have been tested by Joe public. Daletronics said they can service the Qi either way, if anything happens to Wolf or they breakdown.

Angling direct have the 4 set Qi with QR receiver for £529, though I bought the 3 + Hubb for the same price. At that price, especially the 4 set I just had to give them a go. I know Outlaw Pro did mine @ £399 not long ago....ho hum.

Anyone know if the carp sounder alarms come with English instructions?

depends where you order from, but they have english instructions on the website. if you do decide to get them make sure you order the longer threads, they're stupidly short and if the threads in the bars are slightly recessed you'll get maybe 1 turn of the alarm with a bobbin. i ended up having some made...
