Help finding 26.995mhz transmitter for gate remote

[tmshort]

I need a remote for a gate; 26.995mhz and 8 DIP switches

This one works:

Albano T-1 Remote Control, Albano T1 One Button Transmitter - Trinary - Up to 1500ft Range

But seems to be no longer made and I cannot find one anywhere.

Anyone know of a suitable replacement?

If you can't find a direct replacement, alarm supply companies carry generic transmitter and receiver pairs that might work as a substitute. I have used Linear brand in the past to operate doors. The receivers are programmable for momentary operation and wireless codes.

Thanks.
The trick is that I can’t access / mess with the receiver.
This is for an area that I have access to via gate code, but the entity that I rent from doesn’t hand out remotes.
I know the DIP sequence for the gate, but need to find a transmitter that I can use. I know the one linked above works, as several friends have it, but it seems unavailable now…

Seems like a lot of places list them if you do a search. You will probably just have to start at the top and make some phone calls till you find somebody that has one in stock.

there are quite a few 4 channel Albano remotes on ebay with that frequency. Have up you considered trying one of those?

I saw those … can’t tell how they are programmed / if there are DIP switches or if it is the kind that has to learn freq from an existing unit?

Thanks - I did the same search, Most all the links I clicked said out of stock / no longer made.
Calling isn’t a bad idea.

I know little to nothing about this … could that work (if I leave the last 2 switches in the off position)?
One of the web sites I was looking at had a 12-switch version, and said: ““If your remote control has a row of only 8 switches, then the model displayed here is not the right one. You will have to install a new radio receiver.””

Have you tried cloning a working remote with the HomeLink controls built into many cars?

Sounds like you have the same issues I’ve had getting one. The only place I could find the 8 dipswitch units were from an Eagle dealer. Good luck, pricy damn things.

 

[FredWanaker]

The unit is a six dip switch unit. Might call these folks and talk with them. In NJ. https://www.mmtcinc.com/p/MD-1

Just want to mention that I dont think you can assume that an 8 switch remote from one manufacturer is going to work with a different manufacturers receiver. The switches on a brand "A" remote might do a totally different thing compared to the switches from a brand "B" remote.
