I made the jump a few weeks ago from Delks, and prior to changing I got feedback from a couple of people I knew who had them and I have to say I can't fault them at all.

Sensitivity is good and I have to say that the volume on both the heads and receiver are bang on, the functionality with the receiver as well is superb, you can change the receiver to vibrate only or vibrate and light up only or have it do the full house of noise, vibrate and light up and not to forget the alarm function as well that is superb, the heads can be muted so that your receiver is only making the noise and the heads also control the tone that you hear from the receiver, which is a neat touch.

You also get a last recall function so you can see which alarm last went off for those who may sleep through the odd liner.

The only downside I have found Is the optics kit, the light pipe is too stiff and doesn't sit properly beneath the rods, in my opinion they should bring out a swinger arm that contains the light pipe to avoid the current problem, however, it is a minor problem and everyone has there own preference to bobbins and swingers anyway.

The one thing I like is the false indication has now decreased, especially just after setting the rods down and your line is settling, on my Delks I would maybe get a few bleeps over a period of maybe 20 minutes whilst the line settled, with the R3 that has disappeared and so has the false bleeps in windy weather, although I'm sure you'd still get the odd bleep if you were to use them in a hurricane.

The style is good although I don't care much for looks (my ex will vouch for that), and they're compact and light compared to Delks as well.

So in summary, absolutely bang on and worth getting.
