Is this delay different on the deluxe receiver?

In reply to Post #19
Yes, they do I have both Nevilles with ATT back as and ATTS and both work on same receiver.

That's useful to know thanks mate 
Mine have a delay...I am sending them off to Daltronics soon to have them serviced ... so will ask if the firmware can be upgraded at the same time.
I used to use the ATTs for my river fishing. You don't tend to get single beeps, just one toners.
Yes, I have missed the roller with the line before...very annoying but I notice when it happens as I tend to adjust the bobbin and ensure I get a beep before retiring to my bivvy / van!
The water proofing / robustness was my main reason for using the ATTs on the (tidal) river. One night the tide was higher than I anticipated and when I went to check the rods they (and the reels/alarms) were all 6 inches underwater. I had to go get my waders on quickly so I could get close enough to the front bank sticks (storm poles) in order to get my gear back. One of many 'hairy' river incidents...

That’s an easy fix
a drop of glycerin on it sorts that out
I think a lot of the problems With the kiting are the line slipping down the side of the roller and that is why people say they are not getting indications that is the only time I have ever not had an indication. I Will regularly fish at almost 90 degrees to my alarms however I fish with tightish lines So the tip bends round if I get a pull.
God forbid anyone actually makes a mistake like that or will admit it Or even notice that they have done it, because I know I have done it I make sure it doesn’t happen on any roller wheel alarm Whether it be a fox a Neville or an att Or even my mates sonics

The delay is caused by out of date firmware on the receiver. Gardner can sort this out, but you'll need to send it off to them. I think they do it at the shows where they have a stand too.

Ive been using atts alarms for years now. Main two issues I've had is the roller wheel getting stuck, this almost cost me a fish once but luckily woke up to the clutch going into meltdown and landed the fish. There also can be a delay between the receiver and alarm, this makes twitchy bites and drop backs a pain in the middle of the night when you have only received one bleep.

Onto my second set now, gone with the iw versions. Love them.
Find them a lot better with 4 mag roller wheels though.

It can happen with a tight line.
As the fish runs it moves in an arc, a curve. The indicator does not move up or down, and the roller buzzer does not sound. The only indication is the line cutting through the water.
I have seen it happen more than once.
I do like the look of the Att's but the fact that they don't have vibration sensing is what leads me keeping on with my 20year old Delkims and the dongles to Att receiver.
I don't often have problems with false bleeps, I have learnt to adjust them properly, although occasionally a nearby thunderstorm can set them off.

No, I've owned them too. Just that particular issue never happened when I had them, but seen it on others. I bought a set of 4 off here and got shot of them again because they were crap

Interesting , I’ve only ever had the problem of fish kiting with no registration on Delkim alarms , never had it happen on Fox Ntxr which is obviously a roller wheel alarm .
I’ve had it happen on delks where I’ve had to turn the sensitivity down a little because of wind/undertow and never had a bleep despite the bobbin falling a good few inches while kiting , this wouldn’t have happened on a roller buzzer , and yes it was a fairly tight line and yes I had them turned down slightly to prevent false indication , this was just one of a few reasons I got rid of them .
The Ntxr in my opinion has a much more advanced sensitivity system , it’s not just a progressive dial like on the older delks , we all have our favourite alarms though and stick with what we choose best I suppose

 so all your sagging off of att's is based on not owning them.

In reply to Post #32
Mine wasn't with atts, but I've been there and seen it when it's happened to their users. It's a fault with roller buzzers in general, not just atts. I had it happen with both swingers and hangers, always set with drop of a good few inches

In reply to Post #29
If you've set up your indicators correctly, that won't happen. Which indicators did you use and how did you set them up when your atts let you down with kiting fish?
|
|
|

I have never bought a bit of tackle on how it looks 
I buy on how it performs I bought a set of Gardner ATT alarms used them for a 14 day French trip sold them as soon as I got back
and bought another set of the best alarms made Delkim vastly superior in every way the most versatile alarms provided your not thick that can be adjusted for every situation even the brightness of the leds super bright for sunshine and dimmer for nightime use
not always true but in this instance it is you get what you pay for

Everybody will have a different opinion, which will be more than likely based on there current alarm. Lets face it no matter which of the better known alarms people choose the value for money is not the deciding factor. From my experience the ATTs are the best alarm currently available! Admittedly I haven't had the latest offering from Delk, however I doubt for one minute it will be that different, and lets face it no matter how you dress it up the delk has the appearance that only a mother could love its so ugly and awkward looking.

Nope, tight lines

I used the atts for a while, until I nearly lost a fish. I was fishing zigs on a very tight line. My left hand rod gave me a bit of an indication and it turned out a fish had picked up the middle rod and kited that far left picking up the line without me knowing at all.

I’ve received them -they seem very good I bought second hand so going to renew them a bit which I find handy that gardener supply all the bits needed as well and don’t cost an arm and a leg!

Yes, and if correct this would apply to a very lot of very expensive and highly rated fox, Neville alarms etc etc.
All alarms are only as good as the user
Great alarms ATTS and im a Delkim man through and through.

If you say so. Never had that happen. Maybe if you're using slack lines, but I guess that would happen with any alarm?

Fish can kite with rollers with no indication, seen it more than once

Excellent alarms
I use the IW's and ATTx deluxe
Absolutely bomb proof, been out in rain, snow, iced up solid and always work
I don't think you can get better set up imho.

Interested to know how they nearly cost you a fish? Had mine years and never missed a beat.

To be fair I used to have the older Delkim TXI's for a few years and never had any issues with them apart from the battery covers on the back never seemed to fit well.

Love mine mate. I have the older ones which don't have the LED under the roller and am on the basic reviever but they have never let me down. Worked in all weather.
Only thing I did was swap the 2 magnet rollers for 4 magnets which changed the beep from 1cm of line movement to .5cm for better indication.

'I’ve got Neville’s, and got the att neville backs,
fit them yourselves, and I use a att receiver with them, and they work fine,
I think it’s the Neville’s with there own built in receiver that don’t work with att’s
Shame really,'
Yes that's what I meant, hopefully getting mine recased atm and the choice was do I want them to work with an ATT receiver or the Neville one, they won't do both.

Sold mine within a month. Couldn't cope with a silent head. Really worried that the receiver would fail and I'd miss the run

Agree with that gerry, atts are very overrated imo
|
|
|

I had a set did not get on with them cost me a fish on a rock hard French lake
so went back to the adjustable Delkims IMHO the best alarms on the planet will cover every fishing condition providing you have the brain cells to know how to adjust them LMFAO

Sold mine but kept a set back, bought the new delks so lucky for me got the two best alarms out there.
Never thought the atts would be as good as they are, mine have the 4 mag rollers that make a big difference, I would not have them without these rollers for the type of fishing I do.
The silent heads all add to the product, strange at fist but utterly brilliant.

ATTs are brilliant .... Such great alarms
Don't even know why I sold them, to be honest

I think the Neville and ATTx receivers use different wavelengths so you can't mix and match, well that's what I've just been told when talking about refurbing my Nevs.

was looking into getting receiver for nevilles... To upgrade range is this easy to convert for those in the know?

Basic alarm which can't go wrong, good battery life on both the alarms and receiver

Is that for the IW version and deluxe receiver or the normal ones and V2 receiver?

Looking at purchasing a set of ATTs with reciever - have some lined up for 120 (2 alarms and reciever) think I'm getting a good deal. What's people's opinions on them?
