I don't know the exact range. However, many other factors contribute to range operability i.e walls, metal, microwaves etc. I operate mine between several walls and approx.100 ft away so you should be o.k. (It is radio waves so "line if sight" is always best........

I haven't tried it from that distance. My receiver is in my shop, but that's 45-50 feet from my den.

I don't know if it has that kind of range. Also can depend on the walls you have...new home with drywall or an older home with plaster. This unit is working pretty well for me about 25', but also with plaster involved. I will say that my old Powermid that finally died after 12 years was absolutely better and more dependable than this new one. But this is better than any of the others on the market today.

75' is a real push but I had a much older unit work at close to 100' with the RF, the problem the newer units have are usually with the IR signal alingment

I receive good signal from 45 miles away, my height is 25 feet above ground and have some obstruction in the distance. I use a preamp and the signal is clear.

I had my wireless unit about 300 feet (100 yards) from the base but the reception started to get 'spotty.' I would say that 200 - 250 feet would be a good maximum range.

Yes it should be perfect for picking up signals from farther away. I used to use mine at the RV Park. It is basically just an amplified wireless antenna receiver. It comes with a driver CD, which I just checked and it has a MAC OS 10 driver.

Mine is about 25 feet away and is completely reliable. The manufacturer claims it works up to 150 feet.

You are correct on the unit to receiver. I have it set at across my street and it is about 45 feet.I have not tried it farther.

I use the wireless remote from inside the car and house to turn on the lights in my garage and/or my out building. Range varies but it seems fine out to 125 feet depending on location of shielding materials (studs and wires). You might want to combine the switch with a Heath/Zenith SL-6019 wireless motion sensor system to give you control of lights inside and/or outside the garage. ... approach garage and external light(s) come on ... enter garage internal light(s) come on. Place a base station or two inside the Cabin and you can get an audio alert of events. ... a simple, local, motion alert and lighting system.

I use one with a distance of about 300 feet (about 100 meters) and barely have the required signal strength. Also, the output signal is weak at a distance of 15 feet in my house.

Hi Joseph,The range is better then 5' maybe 15 or so but if there is motion in the room between or behind the sending device it breaks the signal.

I believe the remote is supposed to have a 75ft range under ideal conditions. In practice, ours (outside, with no walls in the way) seem to have an effective remote range of 40-50ft. The motion detection range, though, may even be better than the 25ft claimed range.

8 ft. But as a forwarning: it has to be 8 ft away from the receiver as well so you don't have much room to play with the space. And if you only need it for your office, and you have a space right next to your desk then its great! But I have it for my living room and 3 ft of signal is NOT big enough :(

I have it inside my house, about 16 ft away from front wall, and I have connected outside the house, across the street about 50 ft away. Don't know actual range, but it's pretty good for my needs.

It depends on the ceiling construction, but the range is pretty good. I have two of these in an old plaster house and the receiver unit is completely above the plaster ceiling and they both work anywhere within the room, and anywhere in the adjacent room that is within line of site of the doorway. They do not reliably function through a plaster wall.

Yes, it works great, I have it in my detached garage attic, it is about 90-feet from the base station

Hmm. This seems to get better reception than a basic pocket radio so I think you would be ok. For the money you could give it a try and see. I use mine inside my garage and reception is crystal clear.

Based on the instructions if mounted in the vertical position the detection range is 50' its the best on the market that I could find don't bother with those little white driveway alarms they can't compare to the Rodann Electronics Wireless Remote, we use one of these at work to tell us when we have a truck pull up to our remote window and the reception on the receiver has a 1000' range. So I got 2 detectors for my home and one receiver that rings with different tones that you set so you know where the alarm is coming from. I have one in the back of the house and one protecting my driveway. It works great.

The range will vary. I installed unit in an upstairs plaster wall structure and I was able to pick up signal as far as 250 feet away. Range is excellent.
