The wire coming through the hole drilled in the bottom of the case and soldered to the base of the antenna extends out to a 27&#8243; wire whip antenna. Note the jumper circled in yellow. This jumper has a &#8220;high&#8221; and &#8220;low&#8221; setting. It is set to the &#8220;low&#8221; setting by the factory, and the &#8220;high&#8221; pin has been cut off. I found that the range was extended by soldering the &#8220;high&#8221; (cut off) pin to the center pin.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_20110813_185044.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_20110813_185044-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"wireless driveway alarm with wire whip antenna\" title=\"IMG_20110813_185044\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_20110813_185044-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_20110813_185044-1024x771.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a photo of the radio transmitter inside of a Dakota Alert WMT-3000 wireless driveway alarm system.
