here you go, the new alarm , up against a micron
sorry about the less than great pics ,did them in a hurry lol

Price, spec, wireless remote? please give any info you have please Maple... i want some

you should be able to pick them up for £69 ish tudge , there wireless m8 , they go with the Attx v2 .
think there in the shops next week or the week after , do a search as shops are advertising them now ,

they look alreet..i`ll just wait for feedback of batt drain first b4 committing...and whats the back like???..as it got a sep batt compartment slide or do you have to unscrew the back each time..plus what the average life span of that particular batt maple???
ps i`d have to fit a tiny 1.5v buzzer on the front also..just for reassurrance

all the info is here guys ,
what i will say is , tom (attx) dont bullcrap , they will do what he says ,
and his after sales is second to none .

http://www.attackle.com/attsalarm.htm

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh3eWxiSPs4

yes there is a slight delay in sound , thats youtube not the alarms .

yeah look good just two points i need to clear up b4 investing..how do you fit batts to get the same type of watertight seal each time..and how often the batts need changin,oh and one more well a couple more..the range of the transmitters and recievers and frequencies..if the recievers are long distance and frequencies dont alter between recievers..meaning if someone in the next swim is fishing the same alarms set on the same channels and your reciever bleeps for the other persons alarms...now that would be annoying!!!will leave a bit to find out about that bit...but otherwise they look bob on!!!

best , i get tom on here to answer these questions timber , i have not used mine yet lol.
the only thing i know, battery life is very very good , as they are on the v2 .

does it not say in yer instructions for attx v2 reiever that you can alter frequencies maple???

Save yer money, the revolution is coming

errrrrrr i have not read it all m8 lol , i know how to programme it for different sounds , vibe etc , which is all i need , as 99% of my fishing is well away from other carp anglers ,
they must be ok for fishing next to another attx user m8 .

i`ll be on a barge on a canal in south of france b4 when it starts si,thats after i tested these atts alarms out first

you talk "du midi" timber

more left ..tax evasions reef

Not that revolution

right ,
tom sent me the info ,

If you go on attx website theres a msn so you can ask Tom any questions about the atts

crackin maple thanks,yeah looks like i`ll be havin a set myself..that was my only qualm the transmitters codes to the reciever..cheers!!!!

Maple

Do you know if these will be on show at this weekends carp show at Sandown Park?

I think the wife might kick me out if I come home with a set of these lol !

hi m8 ,
yes they will be at the show , on the gardner stand , but wont be for sale ,
tom will also be there .

Coo l I can have a good look on Sat and can feel safe in the fact that I cant buy them on the spot and save on the row with the wife !

Well till after Christmas anyway lol

seen these new ATTS alarms are out on fleabay straight from the man himself i think at 69 a piece..recievers can bought separatley for a tonne..

Q,is anyone think of dooin away with their delks for these..or are you waiting for another model of the ATTS to come out which i heard will have sound in the head...like spidey sayselsewhere..just his look to invest then a better model comes out next year..damn!!!

ps,if anyones getting shut of 4 txi`s n reciever pm me..i`ll see wot i can scrubb together without her knowin wink!!!

look around the forums timber , lots of delks starting to show up in the ....for-sale sections .

so far, demand is double what tom expected for the first batch of orders

Timber, Will you please NOT make accusations that ATT are selling on eBay direct.
ATT Sell ONLY to Gardner Tackle ltd


Thank you

Thomas Wright ATT

cant see any on ebay for sale from ATT some from ftd tackle which is a gardner supplied shop

yeah sorry wires crossed there tom..i did put `i think` but yes sorry i`m wrong..
have also heard tom ..there`ll be another alarm or others coming out soon with buzzers on the heads..is that a rumour m8???

Surly the sender units can be nicked too easy just by unplugging them from the alarms ?

not the new`ns bivvyman..the senders are the attx 1 and 2 version adaptors...these new ATTS alarms have got em built in the alarms..but with no sound ...only from the reciever!!!

My mistake thought this was about the remote system

yer can blame the southern ponce maple for heading the thread wrong ..atts alarms it should`ve been...them sarfs aint too breeet m8..they`re nice but...

i like em me want sum time to go the bank

shut it Timber, you plank
yes i put an x instead of s , i forgot lol , but you only had to read the first post . to know what it was all about

thats nice!!! you make a balls up an have a go at me...typical southerner..when i put my order in..i`ll make sure i put s instead of x.. so they`ll know what to send me

Don't like em for the same reason I have never liked Neville’s. No adjustment of sensitivity, you get what you are given and if its not enough tough.

What’s the point of them being all nice, neat and compact if the business end the bread and butter i.e. the bite indication is based on old technology. I have also read about one or two people who have had problems with losing signal with the ATT'x system. Bad enough in itself but when the alarm has no speaker and you are totally reliant on the receiver?

I read about them, looked at the fox and spent my money on Delkim TXI's. They may not be as flash looking but they are tried and tested and have adjustable everything including sensitivity.

Each to there own Andy , but you should have done a proper "read up" plenty of threads about the problems with fox/delks , one of the common complaints with these , is how they have a nasty habit of playing up when wet ,there are others , but that seems to be the main one .
the ATTs does have three types of rollers , so sensitivity should be well covered there , plus a more modern touch to the rollers (which tom will explain , i'm sure )
as for the ATTX system , yep there were problems with the first one , but the v2 is perfect , and i have not seen a thread on any forum knocking them , i have had the v2 for ten months (i think ) now , and i'm still on the same batteries , without any problems , and i have used them in some really rotten weather .
Add to that the superb after sales service that tom gives (i know you wont get as good from fox or delks etc )
and you cant go far wrong imo .
also the amount of delks that are suddenly turning up in the "for sale " threads around the forums ,should tell you something ?
any way good luck with the delks

Loads of my friends, have had attx recievers and sold them on or sent them back, every single one has proved to be unreliable, some were not used for more than 20 minutes and sent back they were so unreliable.
e.g My friends 3RD reciever, one of the heads wouldnt work from 3ft away, walked 20yds away it started working, walked back twoards his alarm, it stopped working within 10ft, then refused to work at all. That was a brand new spanker, his 3rd reciever sent to him about 4 weeks, no imagine if you relied on the reciever so you could hear the bite jingle bells jingle bells delkims all the way.....

Quite ironic that Hotshot should make a reply after your post Maple.

Still got my old Delkims they are on the kitchen table. My ONLY reason for changing was that I wanted a wireless system. I was using them up to three weeks ago and they work just the same now as the day I bought them. They have never let me down, they have never needed repair (The seal on them is the origonal from production, it has never been broken)and they have never played up despite getting very wet and being frozen on many occasions. Despite all the years of abuse I am totally convinced that they still have many years of trouble free use in them.


Where does Hotshot come into it?

Well only last night I was thinking how old they are and what service they have given me and one thought really brought it into perspective. When I first met Hotshot he was a young lad who had not yet passed his driving test and was relient on lifts to the lake from his Dad. Guess what alarms I was using back then. Yep the very same set of faultless Delkims sat on my kitchen table that were in full use up to three weeks ago.

I log on and Hotshot has replied to your post.

oh the irony
so you have been very lucky andy , as i'm sure others have , that still does not change what i said , people have had problems with them , i have seen the threads

i have got some fox microns , that i have had for years and years , never played up , come rain or hard frosts .
i always liked the look of nevs , so i brought some back in march , i used them for two weeks in france in some quite nasty weather , snow ,rain and -5 frosts , hated the bloody things , the rollers froze solid , you have to use the snag bars if your fishing at an angle , sold them straight away lol .
other people swear by them .
Hotshot , which ATTX are you on about ,the v1 ?

whooops look what yee started maple like i said they look good to me..apart from no sound on the head and whether better ones are to come out later with sound and if any failures with the electronics comes with regular use/battering..i might wait a little longer to see tho with the credit crunch and gas price rises !!!

Maple, the recievers I am on about are both models, v1 and v2.
I know one lad who has had no problems at all with his reciever, one lad only.
Most of my friends are nev users so have bought the attx recievers....and got rid of them sharpish.
A mate of mine went to buy the V2 model not so long ago, the shop had 3 in stock, all would not work as they should, always 1 head out of 3 would fail to work so my mate kept his money.
Another friend of mine, bought the original v1 2nd hand, this failed to work so sent it away, got it back, would not work reliably, sent it back got it upgraded to v2 spec, this would not work reliably, sent it back, got a v2 which fresh out of the box was programmed corectly, to find 2 out of 3 heads working, I walked the reciever about 20yds away where by the 3rd head came to life, as I walked back to my mates set up it died again and would not work again no matter what we did. when last we spoke it was either going back to hq or going up for sale.
Im not slagging them for the sake of it, I just dotn think they are reliable enough to depend on.
Ive had me delk txi's since they came out, had one reciever fault in 9 years, I sent it back with alarms too, just in case with a letter explaining what was going on, this was monday, on the friday I got them back with a £5 cheque to cover my postage, and a new reciever, explaining the old one had a fault on it. Top servive and they aint ever let me down.

Old Bottom Flash days eh Andy, a shadow of its former self now. Great memories though.

Is that so Hotshot ?

Well its strange because after over a year of v2 sales and selling over 5000 units we have had less than a hand full back as faulty

Maybe you could name this shop and i will ring them to find out what its all about?

Tom

Happy days indeed. It was never going to be a top water but there was something special about treading where very few had gone before. First year was best, wading kit down the margins because the grass and nettles were about 6ft tall. I remember holding out my groundsheet and just flopping forward onto it to flatten a spot to fish. It was doomed the second they started to hardcore the spit to allow cars down.

Its funny I was perfectly aware that my alarms were old but its not until you put them in context with places, people and events that you realise exactly how old. Lets put it this way all our cars from back then are long since in the scrap yards. Mind you half of them already belonged in the scrapper. Especially my Cavalier after the cows had done a number on it.

Yep happy days no big fish but special all the same.

Sorry for going off topic chaps.

Im afraid its so Tom, when I mentioned the shop incident when last this topic came up you called me, my mate and the shop owner fit to burn, so I aint going in depth again or naming the shop, because I dont know, it was over manchester way, my mate went I didnt. But he was'nt happy so didnt buy.
A good mate of mine has sent you back 3 recievers in a matter of weeks, so I guess it depends on exactly what is a handfull out of 5000.

mate we havnt had 3 receivers back from ANY shop so i think some ones telling you porkies,
I told you that at the time and then you couldnt give me any proof

If your going to make accusations back them up with proof please.

Most likly the shop didnt read instructions AGAIN

"A handfull" is 8 atually faulty v2 receivers
We have had around 20 duff v2 transmitters due to shops or customers fittingbatteries upside down
FACT

Tom

as he spins round with his hand bag and storms off

your so funny

Name the shop .
fair question dont you think ?
if there was only three in the shop and supposedly none of them worked , then name the shop ,

Whilst I don't doubt a single word of what you've written there Andy, your experience of Delkims is probably the exact opposite of mine.

I reckon I probably had my Delks for a similar amount of time as yourself, I bought them in the summer of 1994 and used them up until about 3 years ago when I'd finally had enough.

Within the first 12 months of use they pretty much always packed up whenever they were exposed to a bit of heavy rain and living where we do Andy I'm sure you'll appreciate that that was fairly frequently.

One particular time immediately comes to mind and that was a 3 day trip on Richmond lakes. It rained constantly from the moment we got there until the moment we left and by tea time on the first day as usual My Delks had packed up. I ended up stripping them off the buzzer bars, opening up the battery compartment and leaving them on the heater vent of my car with the heater going hell for leather for about 20 minuites just to get the fcukers dried out and working again. Once back on the buzzer bars I then had to resort to elastic banding crisp packets over the fcukers just to try and keep the rain off. This was an exercise I repeated twice a day every day for the duration of our stay.

Now, I could never be arsed sending them back and pretty much put up with this pretty major fault for the entire period that I owned them and that is really my own stupid fault but I paid about £240 for them and they never worked properly from pretty much day one.

Finally their unreliability and shitty vibration sensing bollox , which meant they register a 1" lift as a screaming run and were perpetually going off when it got a bit breezy, tried my patience one too many times and I retired them to the under the stairs cupboard and bought a proper set of alarms ie. Nevilles which have never given me a single problem ever.

Just on the subject of ATTX's I've got the V1 which I bought second hand knowing of the problems and sure enough the receiver has packed up (before being repaired by Tom) and one of my transmitters died through water exposure on the Wyre match earlier this year. Currently it's working fine but I wouldn't really recommend a V1 to anybody. As for the V2's apart from Hotshot I havn't heard of a single complaint and love the look of the new ATTS alarms. I'll see how people get on with them over the next 6 months or so and then if I ever get any money ever again I might just treat myself to a set.

One things for sure though I will never ever have another set of Delks.

I didnt say the shop sent you 3 recievers back, I said a friend of mine has sent them back to you, he sent you a v1 to sort out, you sent it him back working, he sent it back to you due to being unreliable and you upgraded it to v2 spec, he sent that back with £75 as you requested and you sent him a brand new v2, which he took out of the box and programmed at the lake side, 2 out of 3 heads worked, then suddenly 3 out of 3, then 2 out of 3. He was either going to sell it on, or send it back to you again, I dont know which he chose to do.
As for the shop incident, I dont know the shop, the owner for all I know may have put them behind the counter in the hope of selling them to someone who didnt insist on trying them out first as when sold they then become your problem.
On a positive note I had a look at your new alarms today when used with the reciever, although early days, I think they have more going for them than the "plug in heads" when used with other alarms, I think this is where the problems could be. They certainly look well made and the little hard cases are the bollox. I admit I was impressed.

ive just seen hookys this morning and am really impressed if they work as well as they look im defo having sum well done

as anybody used theirs yet??? if so..lets have the info on em please??? is anything jittery or owt???

hooky has no problems with his but im not sure how long hes had them for timber if they are as reliable as there supposed to be i think they will take of bigtime

well heres me praying for a tiny bills from british gas in the next few days..got the all clear for four n a reciever from her if they are not too hefty

should get a good deal on 4 and a reciver reckon you will get the lot for about £350 blag em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was thinkin of knockin the guy who reads the meter on the head

just ordered some had too

Your just a tart , Il give you 3 months before your swapping em for some "past it" nevs, then a month before you order another new set of attx's, which you will most likely swap with craig for his "swaps" that he got from swapping his attx's

pmsl, give me first dibs on them dan

fancy swapping hot-pot

Ive got 3 delk txis but a cant help it a think a need to buy 3 of them as well!

you will do when u see em fella very nice

.

Oi turkey neck no!

john,i presume that was near the first set of delks out on the market,probs with them delks was the plastic in the cases ,it warped with the seasons leaving a gaping warped slit down the sides which let in water...
what i`d do is..brush off all circuit both sides with perfume or summit which evaporates quickly after by using a toothbrush.when left to evaporate,apply lots of thin coats of clear nail varnish to all the circuit bothsides,keeping away from rotary switches,wipe some silicone round the slit on the speaker cover at the rear prevent water ingress,re-seal the two sides with fresh silicone,make the drain hole slightly larger on the outer front casing of the speaker cover..bobs yer uncle

picked mine up saturday look the dogs and also smaller than i fort not used them yet out tomorra

Used mine 3 times now !!!! ordered 4 mag rollers !! Good range on reciever even in wooded area !!

Been looking at these for a couple of weeks as I am looking for a new set of alarms torn between these and the fox eos r which you can get for the same sort of money with the halo light included.

any recommendations between the two ?

Had a proper look at these little beauties today, on the bank. Foxy sorry, Dan showed me he's buzzers which look top notch. I will probably out bid Foxy and own a second hand set soon.

it wont happen tudge...... "dum" is just jealous cos im taller than him short fat little ferker he is

ps them sausages where rank mud nice try tho

SANTAS DEAD MINE AINT ARIVVED

Had a scan at them today in sandiway tackle shop they look the bolloxs defo having myself a set soon as the bank gives me some more cash

been using delks since i came off me super XL's in early 90's,ive had a few sets over the years an never had much trouble worth mentioning,i think del's got all technology worth having on buzzers covered an patented?,sure your gonna get the odd problem with delks but dont moan an do nothing about it send the f*cker back,depending on the turn around time you should get it/them back with in 2 week or less at a fair price,theres been a few good companys tried to get into the buzzer market an failed, ie, daiwa,solar,others, so only time will tell on the ATTX's hope it all goes well for you tom, as you have obviously had your problems sweated blood an used alot of money but the main thing is your still there mate an trying perfect your product

Had my new Delks out in some pretty nasty weather already. Rain as hard as it comes, freezing fog, temps down to -5 all working faultless. I am very happy with my purchase.

As nice as they may look my opinion of the ATTX has not changed. Not my cup of tea. The lack of function and not being able to use them as a stand alone alarm is a step backwards in my opinion. In that respect they remind me of the old Herons or the first Optonics.

Yes they may be little and neat, so look cool but that comes at a cost.

They offer absolutely nothing new in terms of bite indication or sensitivity and offer considerably less in terms of function.

Always thought the same about Neville’s, and their lack of function, excluding the wireless capabilities the ATTX looks to have taken that a step further, or should that read a step backwards.

I have nothing against Tom or his company, indeed I do not know him or have ever dealt with him or his company. I have no commercial interests or agenda, I am just another punter who pays full price for his kit at the local shop. As such my comments should really be considered constructive criticism, because you can guarantee there will be many others who will be thinking along similar lines.

I've used Delkims in their various guises from the conversions in the mid 80's through to the Txi+ more recently....they are excellent alarms no doubt BUT in my experience the newer txi+ is just not reliable enough in heavy rain and being put away wet.I have had quite a few alarms sent back to Delkim over the years for water/damp related issues and their after sales is excellent......but.....I want to be able to use them in the rain for a couple of days and then pack them away wet and not have to worry about drying them out and them not working the following week when I unpack them and they are still wet.All of my mates that use Delkims have experienced similar damp/water related issues to a greater or lesser degree.

My ATTs alarms arrive today

BB

If you think safe use themn
Ps Timber i'll bell you

Picked a set up last week and well impressed with them.
I for one was concerd about the heads being silent and the rumours of the V2 recivers going tits up but i know a couple of lads that have got the V2 and never had a problem with them.
The only problem i can find with the alarms is because they are so small they look crap on any type of chunky type bars or sticks so ive now got to go and buy the slim type stainless or carbon lol.

I also have the txi pluses and never had a problem with them being wet and they could not get much wetter after i booted the lot into the lake, a quick shake and a dry down with a towel and they are still going strong.

i`ve always said that it would be a good idea to have two recievers for that set-up anton,one on the back buzzer bar on low volume for when yer venture out of the bivvy..just a little extra re-assurance m8!!!

or you could just set the reciever to vibrate and put it in your pocket

i was thinkin more of a back up for assurance..what happens if that tiny offset motor decides to just stop and please dont tell me they dont???

I can see where your coming from Timber and i for one will be on edge when i use them on an over nighter. When i use my delks i always turn the heads up so i can just hear them aswel as using the reciver,but with not being able to do that with the ATTS is going to play on my mind till i get use to them. Fingers crossed there should be no issue with them going tits up and waking up to find an empty spoon lol

foook that !!!...anything electronical can just pack up..but two at once as an even less chance..restfull nights kip or sleep with one eye open..i know what i`d choose and lets face it..these are a cheap enuff set even with an extra reciever...wink!!!

Just thought I would update this thread with a recent experience.

A mate of mine has purchased a set of the new ATTx alarms. We were set up in adjacent pegs which were fairly close together. At a guess I would put the distance at less than 20 yards with a clear line of sight. My mate walked up to my bivvy and asked if I would take his remote and just watch his rods while he just nipped to the car. Must add that we were fishing in an open water situation on a lake that had not produced any fish for weeks/months.

Being new I suggested that it may be prudent to try out the alarms first. Upon giving the alarms a tweak it turned out that one of them was not working. I had to walk half way to his peg before the alarm would work. Not good when you consider that we were close enough to communicate with raised voices without having to resort to shouting. Granted once the alarm had found the sounder it then appeared to work ok. But there was without a doubt a problem initially.

We did not experiment further or try to replicate the circumstances so I do not know if this was just a one off or a genuine problem, also I have not spoke to my mate since the trip so I do not know anything further i.e. has the problem been repeated, was it user error or a fault?

Either way it is a little concerning.

the new ATTS..
they`ve been owt sometime now fellas...are you satisfied and how are yours or anybody`s elses performing

any pro`s and cons since being tested in proper conditions..

I have been useing the ATTs alarms/remote and cannot fault them, I turned up at our synd lake for a 4 day session(holidays I had booked from work) and on the 1st night we had a really bad thunder storm and it came down in sheets,

I woke next morning to find 2 out my 3 Delks had packed up. to make it worse I had a run somtime in the night and it had taken 100yds of line, fortunatly it was still on and it was a Tench,

I had to pack up, go home and send my Delks back to be re sealed, it did not end there 1 of my Delks packed up again 6 months later, enough was enough I gave them to my son and purchased 3 Nev`s, I never had a problem with them, but I again gave them to my son and he sold the Delks and I purchased the ATTs and have been very happy with them...

It seems strange to me that so many anglers buy a set then flog em after a couple of months.

exactly,seen alot for sale myself thats why i wanted to know m8..when nobody knocks em and have nothing but praise..makes you wonder whether its just worry makes people shift em..those that cant get used to the silent bit..or is there owt else that people are too scared to say..hmmm!!

Ask Joe De Blank his opinions on them.

Against my advice he purchased a set. Two of the alarms would not function unless close to the reciever and in a clear line of sight.

He took them back and demanded a refund.

Thats now two of mates who have bought them and they have both experienced problems.

That must be the reason then andy ,we`re a strange bunch us carpers, we`re the first to give advise and knock owt thats crap with line and rods etc..but seem ashamed to mention stuff we fall for whats new.. fashionable..

altho there maybe away round this and i do like to give advise meeeeee! cos i`d hate anyone not to succeed in this climate...is to bring out a `no singing and dancing sounderbox` that just sits at the back of the rods on the buzzer bars..small like the alarms ,no lights,just volume that can be used in conjunction with the normal lights flashing reciever..so that if the reciever fails..then the little box will sound..altho i`m amazed as to the why`s this wasn`t in the original plans firstly

or use 2 recievers..its the only answer
