Looks like JRC are bringing out new alarms, XTX and look like a cosmetically updated CX.......if the battery life in the receiver is sorted then should be ok but unsure on price??

They look exactly the same as the DS3's to me

Which were utterly garbage. Great concept but poor battery life, like you had no idea from one session to another if the alarms were going to work as there was something strange going on inside. A good friend had exactly the same problem and smashed his to pieces on a tree after they bailed on him when he had a take in the night and the buzzers never made a sound, new legit batteries too. I just binned mine.

Would be highly dubious about buying JRC buzzers ever again.

I had them for about 6 months and had no issues with them to be honest only reason I changed is I managed to get a cheap set of NTXR's

You were lucky. I think there was something wrong with the design of the electronics as they've ditched them.

I've got NTXR's myself. Brilliant buzzer

Yeah maybe... to be honest I didn't use them much in that time!

Yes NTXR's are brilliant and haven't missed a beat for me.

Been using Radar CX alarms for couple of years with no issues at all battery life is not as good as my Delkims but not had any problems I dont use the night light marker function function though as only using 2 rods and Barbel bites normally ferocious
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
