Anyone involved with fox in the know if they have any plans in the near future to replace the fox rx+ with a new model, thinking of getting a set but they have been out some years now?

Anyone involved with fox will be sworn to secrecy on any new alarms as it would kill sakes of the current rx plus. I would imagine there will be a new one not to far away as Delkm has had two new alarms out since the rx plus came out. Hopefully it will be a bit better looking and smaller than the current versionas thats horrible and huge and the only reason ive never bought a set.

Definitely a new one in pipeline. However could be couple years away . I'd imagine it will have some sort of vibration setting as opposed to just a roller.

Can anyone see the need for any improvements other than cosmetic?
The old RX was pretty near perfect, the RX+ imo could only be improved with full control of the volume, not presets. Roller, vibration, multi led, what could make it better ?
Personally I'd hold off, if a new 1 is in the pipeline I'd buy a set of RX+ when reduced, if they are.

Agree, only a cosmetic change is required. At the minute though i cant see me changing from my ecu's at the moment as love them, but i do get bored of things quickly.

There's loads of room for improvement imo. Still never seen an alarm with roller capabilities as good as Fox and vibration capabilities as good as Delks. We saw that Wolf jobbie but the vibration function wasn't up to scratch.
There was talk of Delks patent on the vibration running out a little while back. Not sure how true that is but if it is, there's an opportunity for someone. I'd love to see an alarm that fully utilises roller and vibration tech.

There was - it was called the Fox RX Digital . . . they looked good / worked properly and lasted for decades!

I thought it was the DXR and LXR with vibration?
RX Digital was just roller, no?
Agree, not been matched since in terms of options, but DXR had a rubbish transmitter and the LXR ate batteries.

Think this is correct Yonny, it was the DX, DXR and LXR that had vibration sensing. They had a fourth dial to adjust the vibration sensitivity.
Found the vibration on a roller a bit pointless tbh, nowhere near the Delkim sensor. I always thought it would work better if it locked out the roller wheel.
Maybe if they were to lock the wheel for forward takes in vibration sense but allow the roller to turn backwards for drop back it would be a best of both worlds for some people. I never saw the big deal with drop back signaling as you always look at the bobbin when you hear the alarm.

The fox rx does have vibration as well as roller the same dial controls both

Mad that we're talking about alarms from 25 years ago being superior to todays!

You're not wrong, though to be fair to Fox et al, bar the false indication technology is there that much more that can be done? The light pairing etc they've done could be quite useful, fair play to them.
I had 2 sets of RX, bombproof, stupidly sold them for the newer better NTXR...which err...weren't, no vibration setting. Sold the NTXR and bought Delks, then back to Fox RX+ at the 1st opportunity. I used the vibration setting in winter for Pike they can be buggers for scoffing a dead bait on the spot so my alarms need that function. I think sometimes the developers are a bit too focused on Carp.

I will wait for a certain forum member to release his alarms.They should be very good indeed as I'm sure he worked on the ACE alarms

Sounds interesting
@ yonny RX Digital was just roller, no?
Iirc the RX was 1st launched as just that (RX Only, not digital), with roller and vibration, in later years they released the RX Digital, a so called transition to digital technology, same specs, not sure I noticed much difference between the 2
Edited error!
