922 remote antenna question for DIRT

I looked.. Saw nothing, but with regard to your comment about how Radio Shack used to be, I miss those days.. Along with Tandy outlet stores. HEHE. I used to grab an RC car every time I went (and they would break often enough with me behind the 'wheel' that it had to happen every time I went).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the UHF remote for the 922 used a different frequency range than the standard UHF Dish remotes. Basically more like a wireless router, cell phone, or a CB radio, and that the antenna would need to be tuned for that specific frequency/ range of frequencies. Meaning that it would have to be a certain length to work correctly. That being the case adding a piece of coax to it would mean the coax would need to be an exact specific length to correctly keep the antenna tuned to the frequency it works on, and may be the reason of the proprietary connector.

Entirely possible, Scooby. It seems pretty logical. I did mention to check and see if a router was close. I guess I should also mention this may also be a problem if the receiver has the wireless adapter connected (may be interfering as well).

Emailing platform manager with regard to this to see if there is some other recommended 'fix' to the problem.

BTW, Scooby, do you own a Cherokee?
