Finally they are here...well by the end of the month.

I can foresee a lot of existing hangers up for sale once these babies arrive.

Wonder on price (guessing £45 a pop)

Are they identical to the nitelite v2 just with the dropback change?

Silly question, but do the newer V2 alarms have a drop back tone as standard.
If not, surely they've dropped the ball a bit here. Having to buy an add on for something that a lot of alarms have as a standard feature.

Not knocking Delkim as I've used them in their various guises for just under 30 years. Although I do wish I kept hold of the TXIs instead of replacing them with the Ds, for them to bring out a newer alarm so soon in the V2s.

There must have been some issue with the v1s for them to have done that. My v1s have been spot on fortunately, and have been out in some horrendous weather

I agree. Donkeys years without a new model then almost two released at once. Also had one of my three txids suffer from a battery drain issue.

no, it doesn't come as standard as its impossible to tell forward and backward movement via vibration

think they went with a new version due to all the complaints of "so hard to change settings" "oh boohoo i cant change the led colors"

honestly wonder if these carp anglers sit all session fiddling with their alarm settings and what color shall we have today....

all 3 of my v1s developed the same problem, volume still coming out the heads with the volume completely down. it was a known problem that delkim refused to admit and charged me 30 quid per alarm to fix...yes I got three working alarms back but how long before having to spend another 90 quid....

I think the confusing set up and colour change option was a smoke screen to cover the amount of problems they had with the v1s and had no choice to release the v2 so might aswell do the led colour change and simplify the set up at the same time.

2x sets of V1s - never had any issues either. Only weird thing is the first set I bought the receiver flashes sporadically to let you know 'its on' . . . not sure if they updated this as my 2nd set does not do this . . .

Currently using Slimlites (I'm way behind on this) that I recently bought direct from Delkim at a reduced price and so far liking them!
