Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing longer sessions. The weatherproof build, adjustable indication and receiver compatibility make it a strong fit for nights on the bank.
- Anglers who like to fine-tune their setup. You can dial in tone, sensitivity-style vibration response, beep speed, volume and LED brightness to suit the swim.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers on a tight budget. £144.99 for one alarm is a serious spend, before adding a receiver or more heads.
- Simple day-ticket anglers wanting basic indication. The Txi-D v2 offers loads of control that you might never use for straightforward short sessions.

Quick verdict
A cracking alarm for anglers who want control
The Delkim Txi-D v2 is a high-end alarm with a proper list of useful adjustments. Its vibration-sensing system, tone choices, bright LEDs and weather protection make it a very capable bit of kit for long sessions and changeable conditions.
At £144.99, it’s not a casual impulse buy. But if you want an alarm that can be tuned around your rigs, swim and personal preferences, it’s a bob-on choice. Just remember that the receiver is a separate part of the setup.

Weatherproof construction, sealed mouldings, rubber coating and a supplied hard case give it a properly premium feel.
Vibration sensing, adjustable response, beep speed, volume and a wide choice of tones offer excellent flexibility.
Clear, customisable indication can help you react confidently to different bites and conditions, though it can’t replace sound setup and good watercraft.
The controls are useful and flexible, but the number of options may feel a bit much if you prefer simple plug-and-play kit.
£144.99 is a lot for one alarm, but the feature set and receiver compatibility make the spend easier to justify for serious anglers.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Delkim Txi-D v2 Alarm
Delkim has been making alarms for anglers who like a bit more control for years, and the Txi-D v2 sits firmly in that high-end camp. It’s not a basic beep box for chucking in the barrow and forgetting about. This is an alarm you can tune around the way you fish, the swim you’re in and how much noise you want coming from the rods.
At £144.99, it’s a proper investment for one alarm head. That’ll make some anglers wince into their brew, especially if you’re building a three-rod setup and still need a receiver. But the Txi-D v2 is aimed at people who want more than a single tone, a single LED colour and a one-size-fits-all response.
The main trick is Delkim’s piezo vibration-sensing technology. Rather than relying only on a wheel turning as line moves through the alarm, the system senses vibration through the body. That can be useful when you’re fishing tight lines, sitting over a spot or dealing with conditions where wind and tow make normal indication a bit twitchy.
You still need to set everything sensibly, mind. No alarm can magically separate every proper bite from every gust, liner or twitch in weed. The good bit here is that the Txi-D v2 gives you adjustable vibration response and beep speed, so you’ve got room to calm things down or make indication more immediate depending on the swim.
The twin high-visibility 3 mm LEDs are another strong point. You can choose from purple, red, white, blue, green and yellow, with eight brightness levels. That’s handy when you’re fishing into darkness and want a clear visual cue without lighting up half the lake. It also means a set of alarms can be colour-coded at a glance.
Sound-wise, there are 32 selectable digital tones and adjustable volume up to 100 dB. That’s plenty of scope to find something your ears actually like. Keep it low for a quiet margin session, or turn it up when the bivvy’s zipped shut and the rods are a little further away. There’s no need to put up with one annoying chirp all night.
The mute function runs for up to five minutes, which is dead handy while you’re setting rigs, moving a rod or sorting a lead clip. You can get things ready without the alarm constantly shouting every time the line gets nudged. There’s also a 2.5 mm NiteLite illuminated-indicator socket for adding a compatible illuminated indicator setup.
For night fishing, the build matters just as much as the clever bits. The synthetic rubber coating and sealed precision mouldings are designed to provide weatherproofing, so the Txi-D v2 is made with proper British drizzle, splashes and damp mornings in mind. It also comes with a moulded hard case, which is a nice touch when the alarms are off the bank and rattling around in your tackle bag.
It’s compatible with the original Rx-D and Rx-D v2 receivers, and its advanced anti-theft security alerts the receiver if someone starts interfering with the alarm. That’ll appeal to anglers leaving rods out while they sort the bivvy or grab a quick brew. Overall, this is a feature-packed, serious alarm for people who’ll make use of the control. If you just want the cheapest route to hearing a beep, it’s a bit much. If you want a refined alarm you can set up your way, it’s proper tempting.

Our take
The angle
This is all about control. You can alter vibration response, beep speed, volume, tone and LED brightness, so the alarm can be set up quietly for close-range margin fishing or made properly obvious when you’re spread out across a big lake.
The piezo vibration-sensing system is especially handy when wind, undertow or a bit of weed makes ordinary movement-style indication a pain. It’s designed to help you read what’s happening at the rod tip without relying on one fixed alarm sound or display.
What you’re buying
A feature-heavy alarm head with plenty of control
The Txi-D v2 gives you twin multi-coloured LEDs, 32 digital tones, adjustable volume, adjustable vibration response and adjustable beep speed. That’s a lot of control in one alarm. The LEDs offer six colour choices and eight brightness levels, so you can keep things subtle or make indication easy to pick out in poor light.
The piezo vibration-sensing technology is aimed at clear movement indication, particularly when you’re fishing tight lines or dealing with awkward conditions. It won’t replace good line lay and sensible drag settings, but it gives you another way to tailor how the alarm reacts.
The rubber coating and sealed mouldings are designed for weatherproofing, while the supplied hard case helps protect the alarm when it’s not clipped onto the banksticks. Power comes from one high-quality 9 V PP3 battery.
Worth knowing. This is the alarm head only. If you want alerts in the bivvy, you’ll need a compatible original Rx-D or Rx-D v2 receiver separately.
Match it to your fishing
Best for anglers who like to dial things in
For longer carp sessions, the Txi-D v2 makes good sense. You can choose a tone that cuts through sleep, set the LEDs how you like them and adjust the response around the conditions. The anti-theft alert adds reassurance when your attention is elsewhere, too.
It also suits anglers fishing different types of water. A quiet margins session might call for lower volume and less visual brightness, while a wide pit with rods spread out could need a louder setting and clearer night-time LEDs. That flexibility is the big attraction.
On the flip side, it’s less appealing if you’re only fishing short day sessions or you’re trying to keep the cost of a full alarm set down. There’s no point paying for a stack of adjustments you’ll never touch. For simple fishing, a cheaper alarm may do the job just fine.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
The Txi-D v2 works with the original Rx-D and Rx-D v2 receivers, so existing Delkim users have useful compatibility. Check your exact receiver and alarm combination before building a full set, especially if you’re mixing older and newer kit.
The mute function lasts for up to five minutes. That’s enough time to bait up, move a rod or sort a rig without a load of unwanted bleeps. The 2.5 mm NiteLite socket also gives you the option of an illuminated indicator setup.
For battery care, use a decent 9 V PP3 and carry a spare. High-end electronics are only helpful if the alarm has enough power to do its job when a proper screaming take arrives.
Worth knowing. The receiver’s anti-theft alert relies on having a compatible Rx-D or Rx-D v2 receiver in the setup. The alarm itself doesn’t turn this into a complete wireless system.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Loads of adjustment, including vibration response, beep speed, tone, volume and LED brightness.
- Twin multi-coloured LEDs are bright, clear and easy to personalise.
- Weatherproof synthetic rubber coating and sealed precision mouldings suit proper UK bank conditions.
- Works with both the original Rx-D and newer Rx-D v2 receivers.
Worth knowing
- £144.99 is a fair wedge for one alarm head.
