I checked delkim website mate, they no longer support the Delkim EV as they are over 10yrs old 🙄

I’m gonna pop it in there tonight and see how we get on. I’ve had lots of water ingress issues with delks in the past so it probably has something to do with it

Yes, I’m having another issue with another alarm… I have a set of 3 Delkim EV alarms that have been stored for about 2yrs, they were my boys alarms, the red and green alarms still work well, but the blue one wasn’t used for ages as he only had a 2 rod set up. I’ve dug them out and changed the batteries so I could use them for a second set up and when I changed the battery in the blue alarm (which was totally dead) it just screams like I’ve had a ripping take. I’ve tried cleaning the alarm, but no joy. Any idea what the issue is? It worked fine before being stored away in its case in the shed.

To be fair, my water fishes so damn slowly through the winter that it could have been muted for months and I wouldn’t have noticed 🙄

Embarrassed confession time buddy… it was on mute… 🫣

Standard mate. Many thanks mate, I’ll check that out 👍

Anyone technically minded who can shed some light on why my neville alarm has decided to go silent on me? It worked fine last session, but today, switched it on, it made the usual beep as it switches on, but spin the roller and it’s silent. LED lights up fine. Changed the battery, no change. Checked the circuitry, all looks ok, no loose wires or dodgy solder (that’s happened in the past) so I don’t know what’s wrong. any ideas?

day trip on the park lake I lost a bream 🙄

That’s the one! Thanks Nick

You might want to check the stove is still serviceable after that long, rubber O rings etc haven’t perished? I only use gas, but I seem to remember someone using one after it had laid up for a while and it catching fire? (Thinking about it, I’m sure Rod Hutchinson wrote about an incident like that in the carp strikes back?)
