Remote on feeder

[rudedog47]

mine quit working altogether after a couple of years. replaced it with a wireless remote bought online with two remotes....less than $10.....works well at 30 yards, have not tried beyond that because I am bowhunting

Have you tried swapping one off your other feeders to see if it's just that one?

Do you have a brand or link to what your using, what style feeder do you have

Yes sir, same result, that’s what leads me to believe the cage is causing an interference. Just was hoping someone had some sorta fix for it.

Following. Having issues too. The Timer with time remote.

Wondering if you can add a longer antenna?

[No-Tox]

You need to get the antenna outside of the cage if you want it to work beyond 15 yards.

That might actually work with a longer antenna. Try it and report back haha

I have the exact same All Season stand and fill with “the Remote” on it. Mine does work with the antenna on the side but only out to about 50 yards. Works fine from my bow blind but not from the longer distance. I’m thinking the cage is interfering with it working correctly. Haven’t tried anything to see if it helps yet or not.

I have the remote at my other spot on a different feeder and it works out to about 125 yards with no issues. This feeder doesn’t have a cage on it.

I only bow hunt and my feeder is about 25 yards. It will work every now in then from the stand, but not very often. I can walk to about 15 yards and it works every time. I would be good if I could get it to work out to about 25 to 30 yards.

Mine works fine on two stand and fills. Did you drill the hole for the antenna to stick out(if you are using “The Remote”). I’m 70-100 yards away and it works when I hold the remote vertical and toward the feeder.

Looking at your picture, I drilled the hole in the bottom of the control box rather than the side. That’s the only thing/difference I can suggest.

If it were me, the next thing I would do is get an extension cable for the antenna and try to put it up higher at the top of the feeder. Or just mount the receiver higher on the feeder.

I do think there’s some issues with it working correctly on this particular feeder combo. I had this same remote on another feeder there and it worked fine till I changed feeders to this one.

Wonder if it’s a get lucky kinda deal on where the antenna needs to be mounted on it. Lol

May try it in a different spot just to see

I must be lucky. Mine works 90% of the time at 175 yards. But it’s not on a stand and fill and I don’t have a cage.

I’ve had 4 remotes for years. Move to a stand and fill and now I’m having issues. I’ve ordered these.

Maybe that’ll fix it. I’ll know in a couple of weeks when I get back there.
