They are the best. My one alarm drained the battery. Sent it off had no proof of purchase so was told would cost roughly £30. They must of ran the serial number on the box as i received a brand new replacement few days later without having to pay anything and they even sent me an additional purple hard cover as a thanks for using them.

My experience with Delkim repair wasn't so great. Sent my three Txi+'s in, as they all quit working whenever wet/damp.
They repaired ( re sealed? ) and returned them in short order.
First time out in light drizzle, two quit working again.
Gave up on them and bought Fox rx+ , which have been faultless for something like 5 years now.
A shame, as I really love the Delkim " warble ", but they just weren't reliable.

Oh yeah, for all those staunch Delkim fans who swear that such issues are rare, I recall a conversation with an angler who had recently returned from a session at Parco del Brenta.
Apparently they had some heavy rain and not only did his Delks quit working, but also every other anglers' who were using them ......
Now, if Delkim would only produce a fully waterproof alarm, I would he all over them.

In no way did every person using delks on a whole lake alarms stop working. Im sorry if anyone believes that I hope they never get an email from a Nigerian Prince offering them money 😂😂😂

I had 2 x sets of TXI+s for over 6 years and both sets never had any issue whatsoever. Wish I kept a set much better alarm than the TXI d in my opinion

I can't wait for that Nigerian prince to transfer his money. He's transferring it tomorrow apparently, all I had to do was send him £250 to prove it was definitely by bank account...

I've got a good few friends who have had Delks for years, just look after them, make sure they get dried out after wet sessions etc and they're spot on

Here we go again,Delkim fan boys who can't admit that these alarms have problems when it rains.I only had problems with my txi + receiver,that was enough for me to get rid.My mates had issues with the alarms but it was quickly resolved,only one of the lads I fish with has the txi-d and they've been fine.The cheaper Fox alarms have loads of issues too and the rx+ have had plenty common faults,toggle switch breaking,dial knobs coming off to name two

I can't vouch for the chap, but he seemed quite credible.
My own experience and several mates deemed it quite possible.
also hearing that the D's are susceptible too..........

If somethings crap i will say its crap. My txi pluses were utter crap and all failed in the rain as did two of my mates and i used to dry them out properly after each session. I was probably unlucky but It took me a while to give the txid's a go after the problems with my pluses but had them 3 years now and i havent had a single issue. The two lads i fish with use them as well and also havent had any problems so i can only go off my own personal findings and that is they have all been 100% reliable so far. They only other alarm ive had that was better was my ace i3's.

The pluses were terrible.
