Does anybody know what frequency that the remote antenna, on the back of the unit operates on? Seems to work great for 800mhz...
wannabescannist said:Thanks for the info...I'm curious as to how these remote control devices utilize RF bandwidth. Seems in Europe they might operate under the LPD(433MHz) or SRD(860MHz) bands but don't know what it's called here in the US.

[...] the intentional radiator is restricted to the transmission of a control signal such as those used with alarm systems, door openers, remote switches, etc. Continuous transmissions, voice, video and the radio control of toys are not permitted.

The code is carried by 315 MHz carrier with AM OOK (on-off keying) modulation and radiated by a printed circuit board antenna. The data code is of a pulse width modulation format to express bits "0" and "1". The data code period is controlled by the encoder clock, which is an RC oscillator type that is integrated into the encoder. [...] The 315 MHz. transmit frequency is generated by a SAWR (Surface Acoustic Wave Resonator) stabilized, Colpits oscillator. Frequency tolerance is better than 315 MHz +/- 150 kHz.
