bite alarms

[bigal]

Hi all ,i`m looking at buying some new bite alarm as my old ones have had it,
I can afford about £300 , I`ve been loking at the Fox MMXR with reciver there are some good deals about. Just wondered if any of you use them or heard any bad comments about them ,or could suggest somthing better for around the same price
cheers

i have got the mmx's and i dont have any problem with them (although i will say the battery's didnt seem to last very long) and i always keep the volume on minimum as im nearly always sat next to the rods surface fishing with a 3rd rod!

as for bite alarms though does it really make alot of difference which ones you buy so long as they beep when you get a bite and they are waterproof?

but on saying alll that i can see where the remote can come in handy as you could keep it in your bivvy at night!

although i have a set of fox alarms (SX) and have been happy with them for years since they moved there alarms over to digital i think personal think they are not so good as they really do seem to have a problem with battery drain from what i heard alot said and even devon dave admitted it
if you have £300 at your dispossal look at the dellkims these are the ones i,m chaging to .
