[s-cars] re: RF effective distance

[William Perron]

Mark-
Mine is the same.  I'd say 10 ft is about right.  -
but mine seems to be related to the angle you are at. 
For some reason coming at it dead straight from the
side results in the shortest range - 6-8ft?  Best is
above the car- like from a window in your house.  I
can activate it from like 25 ft or so.  I too tried
new batteries w/ no improvement.  I am wondering if
you can increase the antenna length on the
receiver/controller/door lock pump...

Speaking of IR vs.RF, I need to be within
approximately 10 feet to
unlock/lock the car with RF.  New battery, blah,
blah...  How close do 
you
need to be?  Please leave the tiggler out of this.
