boy oh boy .... people the world over are dying, starving, homeless, bed-ridden, and divorcing and here we spend an afternoon trying to get a garage door opener to respond to a signal further than 10 or 20 feet!!! LOLOL!
I know what you're thinking: if the receiver has gone out of tune, then perhaps I can retune the xmttrs to the receiver. However there's one small problem... chances are your receiver may have drifted slightly offside and that coil in your xmttr is nothing more than a peaking coil of which is likely to already be peaked for max output, not freq. adjustment.

A distance of a mere 10' for a transmitted signal is not an improvement IMHO. Those things should be functioning easily at 100' so as you approach your home the garage door is already up. By the time I pull up to within 10' of a door and wait for it to open, I could get out and manually lift it faster!poopeater said:If after tuning the transmitter, my garage door opener works from at least 10 feet away, then it's not a bandaid. It's a fix. Like I said before, I'd rather 'waste' 5min of time if it has the potential of fixing my issue than to waste 6 hours fixing it for sure.
