There is many of us that did this. Its actually a joke! The worst thing is, neither v1 or v2 are better than the txi plus alarms. No matter what Delkim say. I would love to see a poll of every Delkim user.
the only thing that would make me upgrade my current alarms barring them breaking would be the ability to change the settings on the head from the receiver, that's the future for me
Funny that when I said over a year ago that the V1 was far too complex and you said it wasn’t, now you accept they were. Lost me as a customer to Fox RX I’m afraid, maybe one day I’ll be back.
How about offering a upgrade to people that just invested in the delkim family, I wouldn't mind sending mine back for a motherboard upgrade as I'm guessing that the case are the same? I would pay
for the future. Can you not provide a bivvy light that you can use as a night lamp and that responds to the alarm and movement sensor? something like Fox also has. that would be ideal for at night
@@matthewbarrett9054 yeah i know the feeling 😂 I've got delks and fox rx+, my mates LOVE to jump up and down on the decking boards next to my pod and give me liners, then I spend 15 minutes on my knees trying to work out the menus on the head 🙈

No smartphone connectivity. Still behind other companies. You need to catch up big time. I can change everything on my alarms sat in my bivvy from my phone or receiver. Old hat this matey. And my set of 3 including the receiver was under £130. And they look the nuts and are built like tanks.
Had the txi's for years couldn't fault them so thought id upgrade to the d,s. 2 weeks of use the blue buzzer draining battery, new battery same problem, returned to shop and replaced same problem, only on the blue buzzer, now probably 3 months old the yellow LED has gone, really wish i hadnt changed over, also they ae complicated to use, always have to look in manual how to do something, Hopefully these problems have bee. Sorted out on the new versions, but dont think i will be purchasing,
Very sorry you have had any problems. We suggest returning any faulty items directly to us and we can sort this for you. If they are the age you say we will replace them for you no problem.
It is always difficult when you bring out new products as someone will have always bought the old one yesterday and feel unhappy if they always want the latest. Delkim will always try to make the best products possible and the Txi-D is still a great alarm. The fact you like what we have done on the v2 shows we are always moving forward. Technology is also moving forward quicker so our products need to reflect this too. There is some cross compatibility with the new and old so you are not forced to buy a complete new set if you want some of the benefits the v2 brings.
Maybe if companies like Delkim let the public know a few months in advance that the plan on an upgrade in 3 months then people can choose to wait. This recently happened to me when buying a titan, got mine and 7 days later the pro version announced, at least they did announce before it went on sale but only by a few weeks
They do you just have to recognise the signs last 6 months to a year delks have been up for a reduced price its all marketing if they said directly 3 months prior they wouldn't have any sales of the old product and they want as much money as possible sad for the consumer @@sparky1964
I’ll wait for the V3’s that will undoubtably come out in a couple of years or maybe the V4’s in 5 years time just the same as the other tackle companies do.. it’s a shame because Delkim in the past always made the very best possible alarms for carp fisherman in the first place…
@@DelkimLtd can't fault your service think just had some bad luck had txi,s for years with no probs would always recommend your products so please don't take as a negative just thought I would comment looks like you have addressed the probs with the new model good luck with the launch cheers.... jase
Returned them back to the shop and had a exchange so all good but had same trouble with the new set finally admitted defeat wished I keep my original txi plus,s faultless for years..jp
I have just one question about the new bite alarm. Can all the indicators with night lights be used with the various multi led as long as the matching led colour is selected on the alarm, will they sync automatically ( red with red , white with white etc)? Or are only the V2 indicators suitable/ can be synced? I.just thought of one more question, do you do a two alarm presentation set with the complete set up including the indicators snag ears and all the added extras in one smart kit setup? I think if you did this as a package in two set, three rod or four, you would corner the market as one kit does it all in one presentation set would be really convenient and safely transported in transit.

Now that would be an epic addition. Very clever and an industry first. I am holding off buying a set of alarms until I see exactly what you are going to bring out to compliment the range. Impressed so far, having been a Fox user for thirty years.

Why you aren't making them programmable/customisable by app is bloody beyond me. We don't need a torch need to be able to turn the volume up/down/change the tone/sensitivity etc via app. Should be intuitive and customisable through a smartphone.
I spoke to this guy a year before the next generation was released. At the time, there were rumours that the next generation were still in development. I asked him at a trade show whether they would be wifi,bluetooth, or both so you could use them via an app on the phone. I said there would be no reason for a sounder box,and you could have hundreds of soud settings to choose from via an app on the phone. I said this could be a game changer for delkim. To which he gave me an odd look, turned his back on me, and walked away. Pitty. This is probably why the new generation is still not as popular as the older generation. An opportunity missed in my opinion
We have never done a trade show so not sure who you talked to. I am also 100% no one at Delkim including Lee Romang MD would turn his back and walk away.
no this is not possible as it is a big security risk. If press a button on the alarms muted the alarm and the receiver anyone could steal you alarms and you'd never know.
That's such a shame, so many people hate having to turn off the remote to adjust the bobbins.. A simple warning noise in the remote when the mute is used would warn if someone else tried to mute. You could still keep the alarm if reciever is turned off
@@DelkimLtd I would honestly consider switching as the response control would allow me to make them more to my liking but not with those blarring start up tones. I really don't think they are required as you could have a light sequence and/or 1 and or 2 bleeps.
If you need a ‘guide’ or an app then your product isn’t intuitive. The colour changing led excuse is rubbish. My NTXr’s had that years ago and it was perfectly bright. The V1 was over complicated. Your customers aren’t idiots. Your design was heavily floored and it’s because you failed to put these in the hands of regular customers who were willing to give you no consequence feedback and then listen to it. No point putting it in the hands of a fanboy or a sponsored angler. Give it to someone hyper critical who’s been angling for years and give them no instructions. If they can’t use it, you failed in your design. Also, having 1 button doesn’t make things simpler.

Unfortunately we will not be offering a upgrade or trade in sorry.
😂😂 i love the idea, but delkim would never do this. As easy as it would be for them. They just want people to spend £1000 on alarms a few years apart.
for the future. Can you not provide a bivvy light that you can use as a night lamp and that responds to the alarm and movement sensor? something like Fox also has. that would be ideal for at night
I’d be happy with the light just responding, the way I move about in my sleep I’d be awake every ten minutes with a movement sensor

Are multi coloured hangers going to be released
We are working on a multi colored hanger but no release date as yet
When will these be available? I need to upgrade all my txi plus!
Whats the release date on these alarms?
Hello. Accessory from txi_d like snag bars, quick release etc are working with new txi_d v2 ?
yes as the same design so everything remains compatible.
Thank you for the help @@DelkimLtd
Only gone and purchased the v1’s last week, not even used them yet. Any chance of a Part Exchange please Delkim???
suggest talking to your retailer as you always have 28 days to return an item :)
Can I use my purple hangers with the V2 alarms ?
All our hangers work with all our alarms.
How much they going to be a set off 3 ?
Presentation Set is £579.99
Any possible release dates on these bad boys?
September is when they will start to be in the shops. Best contact your local stockist for there deliveries
What’s the release date please ?
the main thing for me please keep do it by yourself in the UK, don't let them Chinese do the same thing as they have already done with the FOX RX+
Our alarms will alway be made in the UK
ok great but youd get more sales from keeping the txi plus
When will they be in the shops for purchase?
Any plans for a new ev d ?
The Ev-D has been discontinued and no new version is planned.
What about the swingers? No point having changing colours unless you can match the swingers.
I was wondering this too
this is in the pipeline :)
