Description: The Fox Micron RX2 is compatible with the Fox MMXR alarms includes features never seen before on an electronic bite alarm. It has four separate channels, each indicated by white lights, to which can be attached one of five different coloured lens covers, thereby selecting the colour of the channel. When first used, the Receiver is "registered" with the bite alarms it will be used with, so the receiver can "learn" their unique identification codes. The RX2 replicates the audible and visual signal produced by the MMXr head, allowing drop back differentiation to be signalled on the receiver unit. Volume is sounded via a weatherproof speaker and can be adjusted to a number of pre-set levels. A new addition is a silent vibrating alert function which allows the volume on the unit to be turned right down and the user to be alerted. A comprehensive recharging kit, which includes a mains and car adaptor, means the unit can be re-powered on the bank or in between sessions. Features - On/off push button switch - Volume control - Silent vibrating alert function - User configurable LEDs - Belt clip - Magnetic bivvy attachment clip - Tone differentiation - Out of range warning tone - Registration mode - Battery low level warning - Re-chargeable batteries and charging kit - Car charging adaptor - Protective coated electronics - Rubber desktop stand - Recharging cradle

'EXCELLENT, BUT EXPENSIVE, PRODUCT SHAME ABOUT BATTERY LIFE.'
Strengths:
Wireless remote, reliability (even when wet) and general strength of product.
Weaknesses:
Range, when used by idiots who shouldn't be 200m from their rods !

Battery life not good in the remote unit, despite manufacturer's claims to have improved this feature. That said remember the remote is duplicating the actions of up to four indicator heads.
Overall:
An excellent product, but on the expensive side.

Ignoring vibration detection the Rx's minimum line travel distance before signalling a bite is 7.5mm (?). On the previous version (LXR) this distance was 2.4mm. Personally I feel the LXR was superior to the RX in this regard as I'm not always a carp angler fishing bolt rigs.
