I can finally open the garage door from more than 2 feet away. It was driving me absolutely crazy before this. Someone noted I would need to extend antenna to use with my system, but I didn’t have to. Coax was too short to run where I wanted, but that also didn’t matter, and we decided to just try it as far as it would go to start, without modifying antenna, and it did jut what I needed it to do.

Excellent product it does the trick. I do suggest that the connection between the coax and the resident antenna be soldered. I made up a 6" coax link and soldered both the coax connector and the ground shield. I then connected the female end of the antenna coax to the coax stub with a male adapter. I It makes for a much more professional installation and loss of signal strength. Thanks Lee Parmeter 228-324-8753

A pain to install, but it definitely works

This kit isn't ready to install; you have to make some modifications to the included coax cable. For the price, I would not have expected that. It took about 30 minutes to complete the installation. It certainly fixed the range issue we were having with the stock garage door antenna. While it previously wouldn't open consistently when my car was just beyond the closed garage door, it now opens from several houses away.

Followed the modification advice of James K to use with my 315MHZ Craftsman opener and it works like a charm. I can now open the door from the driveway.

kit was as specified. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. However, this did not fix my reception problems even with trying different antenna lengths. Also, coax supplied was barely not long enough to route thru the attic to external wall or a discrete location.
