currently an R3 user, been eyeing up a swap for some mk3 nevs with sounder box.
id love some feedback from current Nev users and if anyone has made the swap.
after Pros and Cons.

Pros nothing to muck about with Except a switch
Cons cases prone to cracking if heavy handed

Why are you looking to change? I changed from Nevs to R3's and have never regretted it.

I've got a soft spot for the more retro gear. Dunno why I just like them

Will be watching this thread spent days and days watching my Fox RX's and realised I haven't changed the settings once since I set them up so thinking about a swap back to Nevs 👍🏻

Exactly the same with my R3s. And nevs with a bit of stainless tartyness look the mutz nutz

Over the last 30 years I've had Optonics, Delkims, Fox NTX-r, Fox RX+ and Nevs.
Wouldn't swap the Nevs for any of them. Brilliant simplicity. Nev's do exactly what you need. No more, no less, and they do it perfectly.
Anything over and above what the Nev's offer is pointless gadgetry.
All IMO of course.

Like previous posters I've had a plethora of alarms over the years. I replaced my previous original RX Digitals with Delk TXI+ so have had feature packed alarms too.
Once I had the Delks the first thing I switched off was the anti-theft setting as it got on my nerves when I kept accidentally setting it off. Next to be cancelled was the nightlight mode. Although initially attracted to this feature I soon got fed up with it and switched it off. On my syndi I fish off platforms so one of the Delk's main features, which is it's great sensitivity setting, I found myself de-sensitising the alarms as every time I moved on the platform it would set them off. Don't even mention using them in wet conditions.
So I got a set of Nash Neville stainless alarms which had been converted with Nev remote innards by Daletronics and were paired up to an ATTX receiver, without needing to resort to dongles. So I have true radio remote, variable LED, variable tone, vibrate mode, underlit roller wheels, plus by changing the roller wheels, variable sensitivity that doesn't go berserk when on a platform. And of course the strongest alarm case out there, which happen to look the dogs danglies. Can't see myself changing anytime soon.

I've used Nevilles for more than 25 years with no problems, so won't be changing.
They do have a design flaw that was also inherent in my previous alarms - a set of converted Efgeeco Optonics. Its a flaw that all roller buzzers have, but which will only occur in extreme conditions.
Basically, when its extremely cold, the wheel can freeze in position and the alarm won't sound. It's an unlikely occurrence, and it only happened to me once in 45 years of carp fishing with roller alarms. I've had friends who have slept through runs in similar circumstances and lost fish as a result, one with Nevilles, and one with the same old alarms I had (on the same night I had my problem too).
You won't get that with Delkims.
I won't be changing, though, as the keenness to be out in such temperatures is not what it was when I was 20 years old!
