It's not about that though. It's the signal strength that is important. You'd be surprised how poorly some perform when there is heavy foliage or other obstructions between the alarms and receiver.

Mini micron x's or carp spirit HD5's?
Mmmm. Similar cost. Similar features but the HD5's have a better design I think.

exactly, the rx plus is ridiculous and gives confidence. Obviously you would never been that far away but i guess the knock on effect of having a super stronger signal is that it emits further

I looked at the HD5s ages ago, they look like the old ACE alarms, but not much in the way of reviews or feedback out there.

It's easy to check range of alarms. My 'cheap' optonic g2's have a range test and they were £120 for 4 about 4 years ago..... would I be more confident using my ntxr or g2's. Tbh they both have great range and both indicate when I get a bite so there's not a lot in it. Yes the ntxr has a better range but who wants to be 200m plus from their rods...

I had the HD5's and sent them back for refund... poor build quality and felt cheap. One of the alarms kept dropping out of range with the receiver even though they were in the same room with brand new batteries. I was massively disappointed and had no confidence in using them.
They are not a patch on the Ace alarms.

I ordered a couple of these as I was curious - nice little alarms.
Build quality wise seem decent, not amazing and definitely not in same league as the new Dells, but seem solid. Not as shiny as they looked in some pictures.
Functions all work well, only criticism are the tones, not brilliant, assuming the speaker is an area they saved money on.
Also no night mode.
They do go LOUD though. Can't test range as didn't get the reciever. Going to be giving these as an xmas gift, but really good bits of kit for the money.

The alarms use two LR1 batteries, does the receiver also use the same ones.
