Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- ATTx users running several rods. The ten independent channels and different tones help you tell rods apart quickly, even when the swim gets busy.
- Carp anglers fishing at night or in awkward swims. Silent vibration, a clear volume display and the built-in aerial give you more ways to keep tabs on the rods.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers using alarms outside the ATT system. This receiver is designed for ATTs alarm heads and V2ATTx Transmitters, so it isn’t a universal add-on.
- Simple close-range two-rod setups. You might not get much benefit from ten channels, 21 tones and the extra control if your fishing is very stripped back.

Quick verdict
A proper little control centre for ATTx alarms
The ATTx Deluxe Receiver packs in the features that matter on the bank: programmable channels, plenty of tones, adjustable volume, vibration and a waterproof, soft-touch casing.
It makes most sense if you already run ATTs or plan to build an ATTx setup. For everyone else, compatibility limits its appeal, but within that system it’s a tidy, versatile bit of kit.

The waterproof casing, soft-touch finish and practical indication options give it a properly bank-ready feel.
Ten channels, 21 tones, adjustable volume, vibration and a built-in stub aerial offer strong control across a spread-out swim.
It won’t improve a rig, but clearer rod identification and discreet alerts can help you react properly when a take develops.
The controls cover plenty of functions while the LED volume display and programmable channels keep the setup manageable.
It offers a lot for committed ATTx users, though the value drops if you only need a simple receiver for a small setup.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Gardner Tackle ATTx Deluxe Receiver
A decent receiver can make a big difference when you’re tucked away from the rods, fishing a wide swim or trying not to wake the whole bivvy at 2am. The Gardner Tackle ATTx Deluxe Receiver is built for exactly that sort of job. It sits as the control hub for compatible ATT alarm setups, giving you a clear way to keep tabs on multiple rods without constantly peering through the darkness.
This is the V2ATTXDR model, and it’s aimed at anglers already using ATTs alarm heads or V2ATTx Transmitters. That’s the first thing to get straight, mate. It isn’t a universal receiver you can pair with any old alarm. If your alarms are part of the ATT system, though, it slots into that setup properly and gives you a good chunk of control from one compact unit.
There are ten independent programmable channels to play with. That’s more than enough room for a three- or four-rod carp setup, with each rod kept separate rather than all kicking off with the same signal. When you’re fishing tight lines, clipped up to different spots or covering both open water and the margins, that separation is dead handy.
The receiver also offers 21 selectable tones. That might sound like a bit of a luxury until a proper bite-time arrives and you’re trying to work out which rod has gone while half asleep. Assigning different tones gives each alarm its own character, so you can get a better idea of what’s happening before you’re fully out of the sleeping bag.
Volume control is nicely sorted as well. You get a ten-step SSI volume control, with an LED display confirming the level. That’s useful when you’re adjusting things in low light, because you don’t have to rely on guesswork. Turn it up when you’re fishing from a distance, drop it back for a quieter night, or go silent when you need to keep the swim peaceful.
At silent volume, vibration activates automatically. You can also switch vibration on or off, so you’re not forced into one setup. That gives you a few sensible options: audible alerts when you’re close by, silent vibration when the bivvy needs to stay calm, or a mixture that suits how you’re fishing that particular night.
The built-in stub aerial is another proper bank-friendly feature. It’s designed to improve range and signal penetration through foliage, which could be useful when your receiver is in the bivvy and the alarms are spread along a tree-lined margin. Banks aren’t always neat and open, and a bit of cover between you and the rods can be a right nuisance.
Build-wise, the receiver has a fully waterproof casing and a soft-touch finish. That’s the sort of combination you want from something living in a tackle bag, getting handled with cold fingers and sitting around during damp nights. It doesn’t need treating like a fragile bit of electronics, although keeping the battery compartment and controls sensible is always good practice.
You also get seven colour lenses supplied, with five fitted and two optional. That lets you set the receiver up to suit your preference and keep the indication consistent with your alarm heads. Overall, the ATTx Deluxe Receiver is a feature-packed choice for ATTx anglers who want flexible alerts, decent control and a receiver that’s ready for proper UK carp fishing rather than just the odd sunny afternoon.

Our take
The useful upgrade for a spread-out swim
The big draw is control. Ten independent channels mean you can keep multiple rods clearly separated, while the selectable tones and colour lenses make it easier to know exactly what’s happening when the rods are off.
That built-in stub aerial is a useful touch too, especially when the swim has foliage or awkward bankside cover getting in the way. Add silent vibration, a waterproof casing and seven lens colours, and this is aimed squarely at proper day-ticket sessions, long nights and busy swims rather than the simplest two-rod setup.
Closer look
A flexible receiver with the useful bits covered
The ATTx Deluxe Receiver is all about keeping several alarm heads organised from one place. Ten independent programmable channels let you assign each rod separately, while 21 tones give you another way to identify what’s going on. That’s bob on when you’re spread across a wide swim or fishing a mixture of spots.
Its ten-step SSI volume control is backed up by an LED display, so setting the level is less of a faff. Silent operation is available too, with vibration automatically activating at silent volume. You can switch vibration on or off, depending on whether you want a discreet alert or a normal audible signal.
Worth knowing. The receiver is compatible with all ATTs alarm heads and V2ATTx Transmitters. Check your alarm setup before buying, because this isn’t a catch-all receiver for other brands.
Who it suits
Best for ATTx anglers who want more control
If you’re already running ATTs, this is the sort of receiver that makes sense for a serious session. Multiple rods, different spots and late-night fishing all benefit from being able to tell signals apart quickly. The colour lenses add another layer of personalisation without making the setup complicated.
It’ll particularly suit anglers fishing around trees, reeds or other cover. The built-in stub aerial is designed to improve range and signal penetration through foliage, which is handy when your bivvy and rods aren’t sitting in a perfectly open line.
For a very basic two-rod setup where you’re sat right beside the rods, the feature list may be overkill. You’ll still get a quality receiver, but you might not use all those channels, tones and alert options.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want clear before buying
Power comes from two AA batteries. That’s a common, easy-to-find format, but it’s still worth keeping a spare pair in the tackle bag before a long overnight or a trip where the rods are staying out for several days.
The receiver is fully waterproof and has a soft-touch finish, making it well suited to damp UK banks. It’s also supplied with seven colour lenses: five fitted and two optional, so you can tune the look and indication to your alarm setup.
Worth knowing. The strongest reason to buy this receiver is system compatibility. It’s a cracking control unit for ATTs and V2ATTx gear, but it won’t be the right answer if your alarms use a different wireless platform.
