anyone using this type? and what kind you get? im thinking of getting an eBay special one, for like 100$...
any idea/suggestions to what i should get?

 

im using a 2way pager. CODE ALARM TW-1. all should do the same. i know with mine, i can move a jumper and enhance the range up to 2 miles. get whichever suits u best.

 

whats the range on the pager alarms... my friend has a black widow i think, and it gets bad range... he said it works pretty well if hes at a house party, but if he goes to a store, it gets no reception/range...

 

mine goes pretty far. so far, i tested it about 1/4 mile- 1/2 mile and it works well. i changed the jumper setting which claims up to 2 miles.

 

The tw-1 has great range. I don't think the remote can send signals over .25-.5 mile. The range coming out from paging should be much greater since the car's transmitter should be much stronger. I have tested my transmitter at about .25-.5 mile. It still worked, even though I could not hear the chirps.

 

thats awesome gonna need a new alarm soon... how does the tw-2, aladdin (not a2000), and black widow 7150 compare to the tw-1??

dont know how they compare. i sell the code alarm, so i can hook u up with one. with a lifetime warranty of course. ebay doesnt offer lifetime warranty with theirs

 

I would go with the Viper RS3.5. it's brand new and has a defroster output and a built in turbo timer. it's pretty damn sweet. lifetime warrantee. $499 installed at bestbuy

 

^ thats good... but I don't have a turbo, and I don't have $499 ohh well...

but does anyone know how this aladdin alarm compares (not the a-2000)... it was a differnet alarm with a much smaller pager...I was searching and couldn't find anything...

 

what is a jumper setting? Is it something built in that adjusts the range of the sytem or did u modify this "jumper setting" to get better range. sorry for the questions im just not too familiar with this and im interested in the alarm. how much could you get them for? let me know

Yep. There is a jumper inside. If you move it it transmits with more power.
