Default fox warrior alarms

Anybody use these?

Their really cheap, but by Fox so i expect their alright?

Im looking at upgrading my alarms, but these look, good, are made by a good company and offer the simplicity i want.

What are your thoughts?

For the price they'e great value, though if you spend a little more you could get the Fox MX's which have a few more features such as sensitivity controls etc. Also the Wychwood VTS alarms might be worth a look.

I have a pair, basic...no sensitivity control, primitive volume control - three preset levels. But they have been reliable so far. They sound when you get a run and for £16 each thats a job done.

I'd spend that bit extra and get the MX's, you can get them for £30, I've had mine for ages and they've been brilliant

My son catches just as many carp as i do and he uses 2 alarms bought off ebay. They have on/off button and a volume button cost £6 for the pair and £2 of that was for postage They make a noise when he gets a run.Which means he has to stop texting on his mobile and pick up his rod jobs a goodun

i have a pair of warrior alarms...and if i was you i'd spend a little bit extra on something like the MX's...the main reason for this is the warriors are useless when it rains...unless you modify the speakers...

Thought there was maybe something you were looking to get off your chest

The new one isn't Marc Almond is it

Was briefly Ian curtis but it appears i've been hacked again....I think it's part of my initiation into mod-dom! Could be a running battle.

Good for the price. my mate got Wychwood VTS and they are pants! If you want a cheap alarm that does exactly what it says on the tin it's a smart number.
