Move your chair back another 3m from the rods. You'll not notice the difference in alarm heights

Never understood why buzz bars aren't made with an internal grub screw/allen key adjustment to help line up alarms.

How are people getting on with these?

They certainly have good features like colour adjustment, led brightness adjustment, beep for beep from head to receiver and tone sync from head to receiver all in a small package.

I took the plunge and got some of these. One odd thing I have noticed is the sound on speaker of the alarm and receiver if you listen carefully with one beep you can hear it come on it sounds like a walkie talkie channel if you know what I mean?

Anyone else noticed this?

I really like my Mini Microns!
Using them for nearly 4 months now.
Only minor thing is that the battery level on the receiver is very low already.
I fish about 3 nights a week, but still very quick having to change batteries after 4 months.

I've noticed that too, like a very quiet second tone.

4 months 3 night's a week is a fare bit of battery time in my thoughts. My mate had to change his batteries every session in his Prologic heads lol

I reckon so. If you have your alarms switched for 72 hours per session my arithmetic makes it 1296 hours per battery in 4 months. Don't think you can complain at that.

Has anyone tried to set all 3 alarm heads with the same colour LED i.e. Red and if so did all 3 alarms register on the receiver?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
