Since this topic is for the SS13A "Stick-a-Switch" I got my new one today and it's an improvement over the older ones.  It was easy to set the housecode from A to F and the switches are much easier to use, just a touch (not a "push) turns the lights on and off.

Is the range any better than this...

Range is not a problem with my two SS13As.   Both are less 5 feet from the RR501s that get the signals.

So I put a 4-position cc switch (KR22A) where the Stick-A-Switch was, and it has been working flawlessly.  I marked the rubber push buttons with a short code regarding their function.

I also noticed the KR22A has two stacked batteries (6V), whereas the Stick-A-Switch only has a single battery.  That may be why the Stick-A-Switch has such short range.

Anyway, another issue solved.  Thanks for all who contributed.

OK who is game to crank the supply voltage on a SS up to 6V to see what happens? ...I guess it is really moot since there is no way to add an extra 3V with out making the "Slim Line" switch a "fat line" switch.

If a 6 volt battery the same size as the one supplied for the SS is made (about the size of a penny) it might work.
