MS14A / MS16A transmit range ??
« on: February 04, 2007, 08:35:15 AM »

I have tried using both the MS14A & MS16A for a driveway detector without much luck.The sensor is mounted on a pole 5 feet from driveway, the TM751 is mounted +/- 30 feet from sensor.Is there anyway to extend the transmit range of these ??? Thank's

You could try The Passive Antenna Trick
Also look to see if there is any large metal object between the 2 devices that will degrade the signal!
Metal lath in the walls and aluminum siding count! ;)
If so move the TM751 so there is a clear line of sight with no metal obstuctions between the 2 devices.
Also the higher you mount the TM751 will increase its range! ;)
