hi roy,as for the solar alarms i think there very very good and did as much research as i could which was hard as they have been discontinued for a while now.
after now owning them for a while and given them one hell of a feild testing i can say hand on heart they are the best alarms i have ever used.
the only one gripe i have is the sound on the alarm and remote isnt what you call ear splitting but it does the job nicely.
a true remote range of 500m.
a nice little feature is you can set the sensitivity on low and when a fish takes x amount of line the head reverts to full sensitivity and then resets itself to low.
also the tacklebox in kent uk has all the stocks of the solar alarm and can service and fix any that do go wrong,as like most alarms you do have problems from time to time.
hope this helps.
oh and the solar v6 and v8 are not conpatible to a receiver
cheers garry
