Hi I have a CODEX Receiver and remote combination as shown here:
**broken link removed**
It utilizes rolling code technology and operates at 433.925 MHz.
It has a piece of wire as an antenna. I don’t know if the antenna was damaged along the way but the range is very poor, like 2 meters.
What can I do to boost my range (not insanely but) within reason (10meters)?
As a first thought I've gathered that the wire antenna is a monopole? and should be approximately 1/4 Wavelengths i.e. 17cm. So I will check that later today. Can I replace this wire with any wire I have laying around? or does it have to be specific gauge wire?
Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
StudentSA
