S34MH1 Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago I’ve been using this bite alarm for a long time. While its performance, functionality and wireless range leave much to be desired, I really appreciate its design concept. Numeric readouts are far more intuitive than LED indicator lights. What’s more, numerical displays have no upper limit, so you won’t run into the issue of repeated colour signals that you get with light indicators. I wonder if anyone agrees with me? Also, are there any mid-to-high-end brands manufacturing bite alarms adopting this same design idea? Quote

Also, are there any mid-to-high-end brands manufacturing bite alarms adopting this same design idea? I have a very simple system: My indicators and alarms are red, white and green. The receiver bleeps and the led lights in those colours. As I go to the rod I check the bleeping buzzer for the correct led, and look at the falling or rising indicator. This works with anglers who have a choice to be like me with different colour leds on the alarms, or those who chose to have one alarm led colour. The receiver will bleep, an led will show. Now in the UK, there is a legal maximum limit on the number of rods an angler can use, a maximum of 4, and clubs may limit anglers to 3 or even 2, so the numeric readout is not a particular need.
