I really like mine so far. The blink wasnt annoying, apart from not knowing what it was. It needs something to tell you its on as you cant tell from the switches as you could on the older models

It's not very good for a device that is designed to be used outdoors though....

What's the reason for the reciver flashing I've noticed that

So you know it's still switched on....
So you know it's still switched on....
To be fair anything black sat in direct sunlight with the recent heat has the potential to cook, I'm sure someone mentioned there fox alarms did the same thing in sunlight....... 
Little flashing light is a good thing as you don't have the reed switch anymore to glance at to know your receiver is on.......

A lot of electrical equipment will shut down if it gets too hot. Moral of the story, dont leave electrical equipment in direct sunlight.

Exactly. Can't blame delkim for a lack of knowledge of electrical items. Hang your phone in the same position and see what happens.

If that's the case then why don't our alarm heads pack up all the time.....

Maybe they are designed to allow them to be sat in the heat. Would make sense as they are likely to be out in direct sunlight for periods of time. Receivers, phones, tvs etc, arent designed to be outside in the sun, so dont jave anything built in to help

Also, my txi-ds have been sat out in the rain all day, and have been faultless, no issues with water ingress, or ghost runs etc

Get that but why make one capable of withstanding heat and the other not?
Surely it is reasonably foreseeable that something designed for 100% outdoor use could be exposed to long periods of heat and should be able to withstand all the elements as far as possible? After all, have you ever seen a warning on a set of Receiver or alarm instructions about problems in direct sunlight?
Whilst i completely agree with your comments on phones/TV's etc most alarm heads and receivers are made out of the same materials and have very similar component parts...... ......i personally have left various Receivers, (Fox, Delkim, Neville etc) outside my door on a bucket or hung of the end of my peak and never had an issue....
Hopefully for the guy concerned it was a one off...

With how hot it was my theory would be an overheat, probably because the LED was constantly active. Maybe there more delicate circitury in a receiver than the alarm heads?
Valid point though about the alarms.

In all the videos I have watched on the new delkims I have not seen the flashing led mentioned but I don't think that would bother me but the other problems being reported have put me off for a while.Im not saying never but will let the teething problems be sorted out
