I can only reiterate post 45. In God knows how many years of Mk1's, Mk2's and now the current model used in all weathers and all seasons the only thing I've ever had to do is change the occasional battery.
They have all been looked after and aired at home after use if it was a wet session which I don't think is unreasonable.

I think people are blowing it well out of proportion, if people don't have any problems with their alarms they don't start a thread saying my delkims are fine and waterproof. I don't know the numbers but you can be assured it wouldn't be cost affective to release an alarm knowing that they are going to have to have a high % returned to be fixed or replaced.
how many have they actually sold and how many have had problems??
we would never get to know the numbers but I'm pretty confident that as a business model wouldn't include selling alarms with problems.

Exactly, i had 3 sets of pluses, sold them as i fancied a change each time, scratched the itch amd went back, but not once did i need to send any back. And now have the new ones and they are all good aswell. Spent a week a sandhurst where it rained non stop, and all my kit got covered in grit and mud splashing up from the floor. And not a single fault with the alrms them, certainly no grit getting in the buttons. Although my basias didnt suffer with any of the apparent issues either. Perhaps i am just really lucky though.
I have no doubt a few alarms come out with faults, but to suggest they are all like it is nonsense. For the amount sold the fault rate is very very low.

I think you should read his post again. He has lost count on how many sets he has had to send back to delkim. Bearing in mind we can only assume every adult can count to 10/20 etc I would really hate to know how many sets he has owned. All being faulty 😂

I was delkims biggest critic after lots of issues with the last version in wet weather but took the punt on the new ones and havent had a single problem and they have been out in monsoon like conditions.

We are still hearing of more issues with water ingress with these new alarms than we are with other manufacturers alarms.Surely after 10 years of development the water ingress issue should of been the biggest thing to sort out.They have added even more to go wrong before sorting out the basic faults

Are we really hearing that many though, baring in mind people rarely start threads to say they aren't having issues? Perhaps you're just noticing it more because you've been looking at getting a set. All electronic devices have a chance to be faulty due to a manufacturing process. There were numerous people complaint that the buttons on their rx plus came off when they first bought them. Not a problem I personally had. Did I let it put me off buying them? No. Does it mean they are all going to have issues, or the product is rubbish? Nope, just a risk with mass produced products.
I wouldn't let a few reports of issues put you off getting them if it's what you really want. Do what I did and keep the rxs for a over lap while you use the delks for a while, put your mind at rest then sell the foxs. You won't lose any money on them by waiting a while, and in the unfortunate event you get a faulty one, they've had there chance and you can return them

Too many different faults at the moment for me to risk it

No issues with my txi d's here, even in the rain
Personally I think they are over engineered, if you like all the bells and whistles go buy them but for me I'll stick with the old TXI, people say there is a fault when it could boil down to user related lack of care, how many of us actually wipe and clean their kit after every session we may never know, BTW I've had the old TXI and never a problem, may be just lucky I don't know and to be fair I don't clean my kit after every trip.
