Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers running Nash Siren R3 alarms. It gives you a matching wireless receiver with proper range, exact-tone audio and useful night-time controls.
- Big-lake or syndicate anglers. The long range and buddy channel make it handy when the rods are spread out or several alarms need linking.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers using non-Nash alarms. This receiver is built for R3 alarm heads, so it won’t suit a mixed or universal alarm setup.
- Short-session anglers fishing beside the rods. If you’re always within arm’s reach, the extra range and receiver functions may be more than you need.
The lowdown
Introducing the Nash Siren R3 Receiver Set
A high-value receiver for Nash R3 alarms, with over 400 metres of range, clever filtering and a handy buddy channel for bigger syndicate setups.
- Model T2950, designed for use with Nash Siren R3 bite alarms.
- Tested remote range of over 400 metres.
- Runs on one CR123A 3V battery, which isn’t included.
- Four channels pair with R3 alarm heads, while a fifth buddy channel supports up to 30 additional alarms.
Quick verdict
A cracking receiver for R3 owners
If you’re already running Nash Siren R3 alarms, this receiver adds serious flexibility to the setup. The over-400-metre range gives you plenty of freedom around a big lake, while the adjustable volume, vibration and mute functions make it properly adaptable.
It’s expensive-looking tackle for a high-value setup, and the CR123A battery isn’t included, which is a small faff. Still, the anti-theft warning, false-indication filtering and buddy channel make it a strong choice for anglers who want to keep tabs on the rods without sitting right beside them.

The feature set feels properly thought through, with anti-theft protection, interchangeable lenses and a supplied lanyard and karabiner.
Over 400 metres of tested range and exact-tone reproduction give it strong wireless performance.
Clearer indications, false-trigger filtering and freedom to move can help you stay on top of the rods.
One-touch pairing, simple channel allocation and adjustable controls keep the setup friendly.
It offers plenty for serious R3 users, though the R3-only compatibility and missing battery limit its appeal for casual anglers.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Siren R3 Receiver Set
The Nash Siren R3 Receiver Set is the bit of kit you want when the rods are fishing further away than your bivvy chair. It’s made for the Nash Siren R3 alarm system, and gives you a wireless link back to the rods without tying you to the buzzers all night.
That matters on a big lake. You might be tucked into the corner of a swim while the spots are clipped up across open water. Or you could be grabbing a brew, sorting rigs or having a quick wander to see what the other lads are up to. With this receiver in your pocket, you can keep tabs on what’s happening.
The range is the big headline. Nash quotes a tested distance of over 400 metres, which is proper useful territory for most carp fishing situations. You won’t need to be sprinting back from the margins every time you step away from the rods. That gives you a bit more freedom without losing contact with the bite alarms.
It doesn’t just repeat a generic beep, either. The receiver reproduces the exact alarm tone from the R3 head. That means a single bleep, a slow pull or a screaming take still sounds like the indication you’d hear beside the rods. Handy when you’re fishing more than one rod and want to know which alarm is having a wobble.
There are four channels for one-touch pairing with R3 alarm heads. That covers a normal three-rod carp setup with room to spare, and keeps the pairing process nice and straightforward. No daft faff when you’re trying to get sorted before dark or when the rods are already clipped up and fishing.
The fifth channel is the clever bit for anglers fishing socially. It can support up to 30 additional alarms through the buddy function. So if you’re on a syndicate session with a few mates, you can have extra alarms coming through to the receiver without everyone needing to sit on top of their own rods.
Control is good, too. Volume is adjustable, and there are vibration and mute functions for those moments when you don’t want the whole swim knowing you’ve had a twitch. Vibration is particularly useful overnight, or when the receiver is tucked inside a sleeping bag pocket and you’re waiting for a proper bite-time.
Nash has also built in intelligent sensing to help filter out false indications. That should mean less pointless beeping from liners, tow or a bit of weed moving about. It won’t turn a horrible tow into perfect conditions, but anything that helps separate a genuine take from bankside nonsense is bob on.
There’s an anti-theft warning alarm as well, which adds a welcome layer of security when you’re fishing away from the rods. Interchangeable LED lenses let you personalise the indication colour, while the supplied lanyard and karabiner give you a dead handy way to keep the receiver close.
The only small sting is the power supply. The receiver uses one CR123A 3V battery, and that isn’t included. Hardly a disaster, but it’s the sort of thing that can catch you out if you open the box on the bank. Chuck a spare in your tackle pouch and you’re sorted. Overall, it’s a serious, focused receiver for R3 users who want range, control and a bit more confidence when stepping away from the rods.

Our take
The range is the headline, but the control is the real draw
The obvious selling point is the tested range of over 400 metres. That’s more than enough for most swims, and gives you useful freedom when you’re sorting bait, grabbing a brew or keeping out of sight in the margins.
What makes the receiver more than just a loudspeaker is the control. You can adjust the volume, use vibration, mute the sound and hear the exact tone from the alarm head. That helps you tell what’s happening without constantly staring at the rods.
Closer look
A focused receiver with proper range
The R3 Receiver Set is built around the Nash Siren R3 alarm family. Four channels handle one-touch pairing with R3 heads, while the fifth channel is the buddy channel for up to 30 additional alarms. That makes it equally sensible for a three-rod setup or a bigger social session.
The receiver repeats the exact alarm tone, rather than giving you one bland warning sound. Add adjustable volume, vibration and mute, and you’ve got plenty of ways to set it up for the swim, the weather and your sleeping arrangements.
Worth knowing. The receiver needs one CR123A 3V battery, and it isn’t included. Keep a spare in the tackle bag. The supplied lanyard and karabiner are useful for keeping it secure and close at bite-time.
Who it suits
Made for serious R3 setups
This is best suited to carp anglers already invested in Nash Siren R3 alarms. If your rods are spread across a large lake, the tested range of over 400 metres gives you loads of room to move without losing the link back to the swim.
It’s also a strong option for syndicate anglers who fish with mates. The buddy channel can bring plenty of additional alarms into the same receiver, which is handy when several anglers want a shared warning system.
For a small day-ticket session where you’re sat beside the rods, it may be a bit overkill. The feature set really earns its keep when you fish away from the buzzers, want quieter overnight monitoring or need a bit of extra security.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want clear before buying
Can you use it with other Nash alarm ranges? It’s designed for Nash Siren R3 bite alarms, so treat it as an R3-specific receiver rather than a universal unit. If your alarms aren’t R3 models, check compatibility before parting with the quid.
Is over 400 metres enough? For most UK carp lakes, absolutely. Trees, banks, buildings and the shape of the lake can affect any wireless system, but that quoted range gives you a healthy amount of breathing space.
Worth knowing. The anti-theft warning, intelligent indication filtering and interchangeable LED lenses are easy to overlook. They’re the features that make the receiver more useful across a full session, not just when a rod rips off.
