Just wondering if there is any bite alarm receivers that work for delkims. That isn't the delkim receiver. As I don't have £130 to spend on one. Cheers

Had a check out on this.
Yes you can buy a Attx receiver, plus the dongles to fit. By the time you have done that, you might just as well buy a Delkim receiver, plenty around in very good nick on ebay.

Range is better with the attx than the delkims.....

why have the best alarms money can buy and then skim on the reciever? save up and get the delkim, used if nessesary. local and distance settings, up to 6000 hours from a pp3 battery, anti theft built in and 24 channels!
why 24 channels? not like we ever fish with that many rods however I was actually glad of this these last 2 nights. fishing a tough water with no more than a foot deep out to 20 feet then a drop off to 8ft. mate was In next peg 30 odd yards away. it was clear that a fish in the night would be best landed by 2 anglers due to the wade out to net the fish. I programmed his into my reciever and he likewise programmed mine, as it was it was a blank however we would have been simply altered to each other's bites and able to quickly assist.
save up and get the delk, you won't regret it

I've found trees, foliage, etc to disproportionately affect the range of delk receivers, which is why I sold mine and got the attx dongles and reciever. Still, we all have our own experiences and preferences don't we.

One thing as always puzzled me with bite alarms is, if you are not supposed to more than 3 metres form your rods why you need a receiver with a long range?

Quality of signal is better.
Besides, it also means that I can leave my daughter in charge of the rods whilst I go to the pub. She's only 4 so struggles to land fish by herself.

It's bound to be difficult for her when she's either asleep in the bivvy, or drugged/drunk as a skunk. It must be true, I read it on here.

People are accusing my 4yr old daughter of being on drugs and alcohol? WTF sort of parent do you think I am?
