I think the ‘range’ term is used loosely in my opinion , a range of 500m will give you a very strong signal at close range in between terrain etc... at the other end a 150m range could be useless with terrain in the way , manufacturers have only the measurement of metres to go by , measuring terrain isn’t easy

Are you serious? You shouldn't be 200m from your rods full stop.

I did do a test when I first got mine, with the rods brought in I got my dad to pull the line to make the delkim beep. I did this at different ranges and begind different obstacles. At one point I was about 150 yards away behind a tree on the other side of some reeds and it still picked it up, definitely improved the receiver I had the same problems as you with the older ones, although I never actually go any further than about 20ft from my rods when I'm actually fishing

Hi guys. I have Delkims Txi Plus and I must admit that the remote range is simply terrible. It is enough to hide behind a tree or cover an antenna with your palm to receive no beeps. I was thinking about upgrading to Txi-D but I must be sure that the range was improved massively. E.g.: even of I am 200 meters away from my alarms, behind the trees and bushes and the antenna is covered with my hand - I should not miss a single beep. Could someone perform such a test?

Nope!

To be fair he's used Delks as long as I've known him, until he switched to Fox RX about 6 months ago

It's a bit like petrol ⛽ or diesel!
It's one or the other.
