Exactly the same for me. Changed over to RX+ and never looked back.

Had my rx+ since launch,only had one thing in the years I've had them and that was sorted by switching receiver off and on again.Imo best alarms on the market

Same scenario for me, lost fish in France as I was fishing to the opposite bank. Delkim told me the sensors lose sensitivity over time and they probably needed replacing. The alarms were about 18 months old and probably used less than 20 times.

A few folk on here have had the same issue.

Funny you just said that, this is the exact issue I had yesterday that put the nail in the coffin. Lost two fish in snags after the alarms didn’t register two slow drop backs.

That’s on top of having two fail that needed repairing on a trip to France, plus a load of other annoying gripes over the years. Really had enough of them now.

I had mine around 5 years iirc, bullet proof for a roller alarm, though some report faults
I got rid of my TXis for RX+ due to them not registering slow drop backs.

Anybody use the Fox RX+ bite alarms and have any feedback on them?

After being a Delkim owner for 5 years, I’m thinking of getting rid of them. I’ve had too many issues with them failing on me and I’ve finally had enough.
