Thanks for the advice. That'll be my next step if the extended antenna doesn't work. I'll just have to accept that there's just too much interference on 390MHz. Unfortunately, I'm no longer under warranty, so any further replacement parts will be at my expense. Unfortunately, I'm a...

Received my replacement board. It works exactly the same. I can open the door if I'm standing right next to it. :( I think I'll try extending the antenna... I'll let ya'll know how that works out. The existing antenna looks to be slightly more than 1 foot long, which doesn't seem like the...

eBay :thumbup: It's got a money-back guarantee, but it's used so I'm still a little skeptical. For only $21.98 including shipping, I won't be terribly upset if it doesn't work. As long as I can open the door from inside the car, outside the garage, I'll be satisfied. And, if it improves AT...

This is my line of reasoning as well. I don't have a circuit diagram, but it's a pretty simple board. I haven't used an oscilloscope in 15 years. BUT, I can get a replacement board for $20 :thumbup:

Thanks for the input. There have been other houses built in the area over the past 5 years, but nothing very recent in the immediate vicinity. (our phase of the subdivision was built out about 4 years ago) I had also read about the military interference on this wavelength. As I mentioned in...

Good afternoon, I have a Genie IS550/A screw-drive opener that is 5 years old. Over the past year or so, the remote range has been gradually decreasing. Within the past week, it is decreased to the point where I have to be within arm's length of the door for it to work. When it was new, I...
