Our feeders are 200-250 yards from the stands and I've tried several brands of remotes and none have worked at that range. Does anyone know of something that will transmit that far? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

My timer works at 200 but it’s about its limit.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, b/c they know not victory nor defeat"- #26 TR

What brand and model are you using? I could possibly bring feeders in a little if you're getting 200 yds.

So find a longer antenna that fits the threads of "the remote " transmitter?

We had a cell camera down in a low area and had to add a longer antenna to finally get it to connect. It’s been a real pain to get it going. I don’t know if something similar would work for a remote or not. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-45514-426867-10f342ea_2042_4a5c_a3a3_a1b793942adb.jpeg)
