The problem with Crash's suggestion is that you'll be receiving signals on
your alarm system from wireless headphones in Belgium...

Thanks for all your help, I spoke to linear today with not much help. I
will move the receiver closer to the outside wall.

To tell you all why it is not wired direct is it is on the out side of my
mail box. 40 ft from the house. It runs a voice modal in my alarm system.
"The mails here".

No 12 V battery, No mismatched cables, No 500 watt amps.
Just the mails here.

They make a longer range one you know. I can't remember the model number of
it, we used to use if for model home complexes...we'd cover a couple of
hundred foot radius with one. It had a metal box instead of plastic and a
long antenna..probably 27 inches. I bet it really was the same xmtr with a
tad more power a metal box and a loaded antenna.

With a long enough antenna, the mailman could attach the mail to the
end of it, extend it towards the house and ring the doorbell. No
transmitter needed.
