Jaycar remote question

Try it out of the roof cavity to check if the foil, etc is screwing up your range. My guess would be 'yes it is'. It would be 50m on a good day with line of sight, no obstructions, etc. How are you hooking up the antenna?

At the moment the antenna is coming out from behind the wall plate (where the unit is) and hanging on the wall, about 1.5M in length. If I pull it out horizontal into the room I find the reception is better but still nothing spectacular, maybe I get a few more metres. I thought I may need to screw up an external antenna on the outside somewhere. These are made for cars so I wonder if the antenna should be a lot shorter.

Thanks
