That's what I would have thought but said poster all I can determine is perhaps they wanted it to be illuminating ✌️

Edit I just checked yes I guess this is what poster wanted

'Drop Back Differentiation: When connected to the Txi-D v2, the SmartLite hangers provide distinct visual indication for drop backs, featuring a flashing latching LED that differentiates from forward runs.'

I thought it was the bobbin that detected it was going down rather than up?

Sort of, with other bobbins you still get a different tone, just no visual indication.

Looks like from that video they have drop back tone as well. Not for me though, I am a fox man now.

People moan about everything coming from China. The same people moan about the price of things made in the UK.

The moulds are same so that the cases are interchangeable 👍
The electronics are different also the pcbs and receivers are different

Like many British manufacturers there is always going to be a higher cost

I watched a video on YouTube on jags rucksack dominated by folk moaning about the price

Not sure what background work wise here but manufacturing costs have risen a lot hence the cost today for uk manufacturing

Good article

No difference to V1s then! The only thing I fiddle with is the sensitivity dial and the mute button on the alarm heads and the 'do not disturb' function on the receiver . . . .really not difficult . . .

I got rid of my TXI's and bought the ECU's after a recommendation from my mate,thought I had damaged them in march when I was out in that storm and a fear of the water levels rising on the pool I got them in,only problem was I went arse over tit at 1am and they went straight under water,luckily enough they still working,not many alarms around that are waterproof like the ATT's as well.
Also the TXI's I had ended up having to be repaired due to the water levels at same pool engulfed them one session a few years ago had to get them repaired

I think you are spot on here. They will definitely sell more than than the Txi--d. They are same quality as the txi-d just simplified to how it should have been. Can see current users also switching.
