I have a OMEGA around 200-700ft.

anyone have one that can reach like a mile or two??

anyways my alarm saved my car hell times already.

 

Compustar suppose to have 1.25 miles...but mine is 100m-200m, if I get lucky.

 

Pager ranges are real bullshit. The range is tested under unreal circumstances. In order to get optimum range you would have to have 0 interference from electrical sources: ie power line, neon lighting. Also you would have to have the unit in direct sight with each other ie. no concrete walls, or having the unit underground or being blocked by a big *** tree. I think the farthest that I have ever gotten with my Code Alarm is about 350-400 ft. The range is supposed to be a mile. Realistically though I think that is a great improvement over units that don't have the paging ability.

 

well my pager works pretty good.

thanks for the replys guys

this is the truth for any wireless unit.. be it two way radio, remote car system, etc. They always test in lab conditions that are pefect... my 5 mile motorola GMRS radio.. HA... my friend and i could barely make it from one end of down town to the other here, which is maybe 2 miles or so.... but when he was up at a clear spot on a mountain near here I could pick him up about 5 miles away.

 

I live at place where it has lot of power lines etc.
this pager works really good has not failed on me yets.

someone tried to jack me the other week cracked my window alarm went of they tried to steal my w7

sold the system next day park the car at friends house for the night.

 

my alarm guy told me pager alarms are pretty much wack but if it works for you, thats coo.

 

Your alarm guy probably doesn't sell pager alarms, so obviously he'll tell they're wack.

 

He does sell pager alarms but doesnt like the fact that their range sucks once you enter a building such as a mall.

 

You will still get better range and at least a chance of being notified of the alarm going off. With traditional alarms you have no chance in hell of knowing.

What about normal remotes? Do they have a better range?

 

no they don't get any better range.
