I've had NTXR's for a fair years now but just wondering if people recommend the RX+ enough to upgrade from NTXR's?

Cheers

Dont think you will gain much and the ntxr looks much better than the rx+ imo.

I like the rx+ but its a lot of money for an extra led that you can change the colour of tbh

i had ntxrs and loved them,before that i had delkim txis,the rxplus are a superb alarm the battery life for the receiver
is better ie last longer,plus the sensativity is unreal 2mm and you get a bleep,plus you dont have to remove the back to change your colour,and having the 2 lghts is better. at first i wasnt sure but now i love em.

I upgraded and perhaps it's just me but unless you are on the perfect angle the 2 night lights are hardly visible and don't come on automatically. The Ntxrs were much brighter albeit one led. You do get the benefits already listed though but only you will know if they are worth the money to you. I only changed because one of my Ntxrs got corrosion and played up.

Have to agree had both and NTXrs are better IMO

I ve moved to Wolf Icons and they are so far awesome 😎. Tried the TXi'Ds and they were good but just too much faffing about to change the settings you need the manual every time

Depends really if you personally think that you actually need to upgrade , I haven't bothered upgrading as my Ntxrs do everything I need for my own fishing

Had both and the RXPlus in my opinion is better, main reason for me was the the more Improved sensitivity
It offered over the previous nxt.

I couldn't ever sell my NTXR's. Of all the alarms I've ever owned, including my current set of TXi-D's, they are the ones I always want to use. Daletronics is currently flogging a load of refurbished NTXR's on ebay and I'm so tempted to part with £130 for a fourth as a spare.

I'd be keeping them if I were you.

Loved the NTXRs but struggled to live with how bright the LEDs were.... drove me nuts. far far too bright. I had to paint over the LEDs with a dark varnish/airfix model wash in the end to dull them.
Bought the RX+ the minute they were released.. Adjustable LEDs are spot on ..Best alarms I've had and I've had all the ones worth having.

I had the ntxrs from when they first came out and really liked them a lot.

However when the rx+ came out it was like someone at fox had been listening to the things I wasn't keen on the ntxrs and sorted it all out.

I haven't found a single thing I don't like about the rx +.....and I'm really picky

I have noticed the edge of the alarm casings seem to get marked on the RX plus from taking the covers on and off..

I noticed that as well, all the second hands ones on ebay were all badly marked on the sides of each alarm from there cases.
