How far is the range? Could I put a base it in a pole barn?

I'd say 50'.-75' But I must also add they are probably one of the worst cordless phone sets I've ever had. When using the buttons there is a slight delay with each push of the button. Its annoying.

I have gone up to about 50 feet through metal walls and it was working fine.

My sending unit is mounted on a pole approximately 400ft from my house. To get to the receiver the signal must pass through 4 walls. It works fine under those conditions.

The spec is that the range of the remote from the base unit is 600ft. Depending on walls etc it could be less.My aunt uses it in her single family 1 story home without problems.

I could not find one for this model or one of the less expensive models. I had my Linksey E1500 super boost unit hooked up in an upstairs room. I carried my laptop out to our 30 x 40 steel pole barn and could receive service and that included our inclosed work shed in the back of the barn with all the windows and doors closed. I was greatly impressed. Our home is vinyl sided, the signal had to go through the front of the roof to reach the barn with a distance of around 80 to 90 feet.

I haven't had any problems at our property which has an elevation difference of about 10 ft. over an area of 1 1/4 acres. I use two transmitters, one in the barn and one in the house. The transmitter in the house is about 6 ft higher than the one in the barn. System works great even with my truck parked in the barn.

If heard of people putting antennas in their attics`. I guess you could this one, too. If your attics big enough and your not to far from TV stations. Buildings and trees block tv signals, I would think an attic does the same? Putting this on a 20-25 ft. pole down the side of house & using Quad Sheild RG-6 coax 75 ohm Cable , probably would get you better signal & stations further away. Mines on a 50ft. tower connected to 50` feet of RG-6 cable down to the amp. & I`m getting stations 60 miles ( south & east) away.

If there are no any obstacles between your home and your barn, It may work. Yout should put the unit on top of your roof and facing to your barn. However, if there are some obstacles containing water -like trees- , or some metal obstacles like electric poles or so; your link quality shall be reduced. If your barn is in clear sight from your roof and your barn's walls do not contain much metallic construction parts or wet wood blocks, then it is likely that it would work from 600 feet. Anyways, just buy one and try, if it doesn't satisfy you, then you may buy another one and build a WDS link between two units.

I am not sure of the range. It all depends how you have it positioned, keep that in mind.

I have one of these in use now for about two years. You can have bushes, etc in the way. Ours is mounted 450 up our driveway, and our "receiver" module is inside the house, by a book stand. Definitely, the more stuff you have in its way ADDING also a lot of distance, and you won't get what you want. But, I most certainly got what I paid for. It's a bargain and a very reliable unit!

Under perfect conditions I have picked up towers close to 50 miles away. Very reliable for towers within 35 miles. Mine is mounted in a single story attic.

It will heat a building 600 sq. ft.. If your pole barn is not over that square footage, it should work. It also depends if the building is insulated, is it drafty, how cold does it get and how windy does it get...these are things you will have to consider. In my opinion the high ceilings would mean it might take longer to heat. It would come down to if and how well it is insulated and how air tight is it? Hope this helps.

Hey Brandon- The range on these is awesome! I had a gated community that I had direct line of sight to the antennae that was mounted on a pole 10' high, and was well over 500'. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks... Matty

Depends on how many walls the signal has to go through and a bunch of other variables. My base station is about 100 ft away from my garage. If I stand just inside my garage no signal. Stand just outside the garage I get a signal.

I use this in a barn. You are either in range or out of range. The closer the camera is to what you are watching the clearer it is. It truly is 600 ft range.

If you have a USB port you should be OK. I have had issues with the range it will cover. In our installation you cannot be more than 10 feet away from the base if you want ot connect with a laptop, sometimes less than that..

I would say no. I purchased this for a friend who lives a 1.4 mile away from a public host spot and it would Only work a few houses down.

we installed this in a metal barn 30x40 16ft ceiling we weren't getting any signal now we are getting 5 bars no problem. We installed the outdoor antenna on a pole 8 ft above the roof line and the inside antenna was installed in the ceiling center of the building. We adjusted the unit and have had no issues with it for over a year now.
