I switched to these from nevilles as I found the receiver range poor but the r3 range is incredible. also like the fact I can screw my matrix bobbins into them direct without the need for a hockey stick. also built in snag ears, big thumbs up

just to add I got three brand new and receiver and a presentation case (which I wasn't expecting) for £285 delivered. absolute bargain!

I've heard nothing but great reviews on these alarms. I always thought, they look cheap and tacky, just shows how wrong you can be.

A guy on a local lake has some, he replaced his Delkims with them, and reckons they piss rings around the Delkim, and just about any other alarm?

I have these too guys.

I have literally used every alarm on the market through the years, from Optonics through to Delkims, the Ace i3, pretty much all Fox alarms, ECU Mk1's, Nevs and so on.

These have to be up there as one of the best. I had the Nash RS1's a few years ago so had no problem getting the R3's. One thing I would have liked is a subtle nightlight on them like the RS1's and other alarms however I do think Nash have gone for less is more in terms of battery life and overall reliability.

The only alarms I would put on a par with them would be the Fox NXTR's however, the price difference is astronomical really.

As long as they keep performing I can't see me changing.

No doubt these are good alarms. What I didn't like was how complicated they were to adjust settings. I has to eat h a YouTube video every time I wanted to alter them. I also still experienced false bleeps in wind and from weed so I'm not convinced the technology is quite there yet.

Will stows screw straight into the alarms or will they need an adaptor ?

The Solar etc. thread, although different, will screw straight into the R3's.

I've seen no mention of drop back indication, do these R3's have it?

Yeah they definitely indicate dropbacks.
Are you sure?
