Thanks again guys:
Customak47 -- if you could hook me up with that antenna, I'd appreciate it (pay you whatever you want for it! + shipping).
I'll change my battery tomorrow (it's a 23A 12volt) and chime in.
Wouldn't a bad ground connection cause my blue LED's on the antenna to behave erratically?
The manufacturer recommends replacing the batteries once a year to maintain range -- I wouldn't be surprised if these 1270TL units sit in a factory/store for up to that amount of time before they're sold.
Thanks again

Just put a fresh battery in the keyfob, and sure enough, my range has significantly improved.  Gotta give it to you guys, good advice.  Thanks again!
