I'm not aware of Fox manufacturing anything. Same as Trakker etc, I bought a bug zapper from E-bay last year. It's exactly the same as the Trakker one except it was under £10. Middlemen with carp tax are going to be under pressure with a shrinking market due to customers getting savvy, and competition getting greedy. It will bite them in the ass. 100's of different alarms out there now with great tech and cheap as chips. I wont go back to delkim greedy barstewards.

It wouldnt surprise me at all if they are exactly the same alarms as the rx+ but a quarter of the price. I bet they only cost about £10 to actually make anyway so they will still be making a fortune. You just have to look a aqua and cyprinus.

Dont be fooled...Won't be same alarms. They've just copied the shell design. I'd be staying way clear, they go wrong you won't be able to get them fixed.

No one knows that until you actually open one up. There all made over there in a select few factory's anyway.

i've asked the same question on a couple of facebook pages and seen a video they have the same tones as the genuine Fox RX+ the led lights have the changeable colours just a different way to change them toggle switch up and turn the volume dial from the video i saw from someone that owns them

Yep. Buy some for £250 and it may turn out to be a bargain. It's a lot to spend on something unknown though, and good luck getting any spares/warranty repairs/replacements.

If you buy them from Ali Express for £132 then spares/warranty repairs/replacements are not such a problem

Seen a fair few comments that the internals are not the same with no sealed circuits, suffer with water ingress and a fair few failed units!

They'll suit me then, I don't go fishing when it's raining

Imo get the Micron x if the RX+ is over the budget and save further for the RX+ in the future or its successor
i would guess that as such a blatant copy is available that maybe Fox licence has run out/ relinquished for that design and they have a new one in the pipe line ???
i can imagine their top end alarms have taken a bit of a hit with the mini micron with receiver they released.

Thats interesting. One of the videos I've seen shows a Chinese lady demonstrating how they work after being taken out of a bucket of water.
