Another Good Woods Product Purchased this item and Woods 13568. This is a single control unit that has a higher voltage and wattage ratings than the 13568 necessary for larger electrical items you may want to control. Easy to use and has worked great so far. If you order more than one, you might have problems with channels. Mine is programmed for Channel C which means there must be units with Channel A and Channel B. Ratings on this unit are 13Amp Resistive, 13A General Purpose and 1000 Watt Tungsten. Operational distance so far is about 90 feet. One good feature with Woods products as compared to some of the other like items is that they come with battery installed.
Exactly as advertised I bought a couple of these to remotely control my Christmas lights in December, and my fountain pump in the Summer. They work great. I really like the separate on/off buttons as it makes it easy to know that I’m turning things on or off when I blindly point them out the window and press a button a couple of times.
Fixing a poor range. Out of the box my unit operated OK up to about 15 feet. Following one review I opened the unit, took the coiled antenna and wound it around the inside perimeter of the device. Now it worked up to about 20 feet. So I got brave, drilled a small hole, and pulled most of the antenna outside. Now I got a range of about 30 feet. Finally, I hooked about 50 feet of wire to the end of the antenna. Now I get a range of nearly 100 feet. A note to the manufacturer: How hard would it be to add a terminal for an optional extra antenna?Two notes: If weather is an issue seal the hole; I don’t believe that adding antenna length to a RECEIVER violates any FCC regulations.
