Installing an older rs 1200 on my Mommy in laws truck. It is an older used unit and it is missing the antenna. I am sure I can order a replacement from bulldog, but I have the vehicle today and tomorrow, and I want to install it now, as I have the time. Will the unit respond to the keypad at zero range, basically point blank signal? Does anyone know if radio shack has the components available so I could make my own antenna? Or is that even possible? Thanks guys, john.

How long is the Yellow wire on the 16 Pin connector?

Soldering is fun!

The yellow wire measures approx 16-17 inches.

16" = 400cms = around 400mhz so it should be OK.

No forget the last post, its size in mm x 300,000 for frequency in Mhz.

Length should be around 12"

Can't remember but the RS1100 doesn't have an antenna, just a short wire that is supposed to be straight and heading upwards. The RS1200 had a long antenna that went to the windshield but the RS1200 "E" models had something different. A call to Bulldog Tech Support should sort it out, they are very helpful

Some early units simply used a piece of wire, about 12" should suffice to get you some sort of reception for now.
