No, you just order a new remote on the same frequency, as you would for a central heating boiler, door bell, etc

It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

Rubbish!
Any remote control for a particular model of mover system can be used as they all operate on the same frequency; it's the digital encoding between the individual remote and the movers electronics box that is unique.
These are 'paired' by carrying out the synchronisation procedure found in the mover's user manual.
Really! In that case I'm wrong, I mentioned central heating boiler as I have personal experience of this. So I'm assuming that AL would have had to "retune" the remote to operate with one of there stock items? If that's the case Derek (hampshireman) will have to "retune" it to work with his mover, as per the manual?

If the radio signal reception is poor, then you extend the antenna to 54 cm. The cable should be taken outside the vehicle taking care that the aerial does not come into contact with any metal parts.
I was getting dicky reception from day one and discovered when it came off in my hand that the aerial had a dry joint at its connection with the control box pcb, so I soldered a new length on.
It was a sort of arbitrary length. I say arbitrary, but the small degree of educated guesswork I used was based on yonks of fooling around with various radio-controlled models, so the upshot was that it works - and continues to do so - but not as well as it should.
If I extend it to 54cm then drop it out through the floor so that it's hanging vertically and outside the Faraday cage that is the body (which I would assume to be the best thing to do), the position of our control box (vertically on a ply bulkhead adjacent to the electrical department) and the location of the aerial connection on its top edge means that less than half of the 54cm will actually be in the optimum location.
What I'd like to do really is have the correct length for the best reception outside the body of the van. I remember reading something that John E wrote somewhere concerning this very thing, and if I recall correctly that length, for the particular radio frequency in use, is about eight inches or so. I'll double check that anyway.
The thing is that any length of wire from the control box to the bit you actually want to be the aerial (the 8" dangling down, if you excuse the expression) is effectively part of the aerial as a whole, making a nonsense of Reich's 54cm.
Which means, presumably, that I'm likely to be no better off than I am at the moment.
Except that I'll have a small hole in the floor which wasn't there before.
Now I might be making heavy weather of this whole thing, but I'd really like the entire gubbins to work more consistently than it does now. Having to walk closer to the van on one side than the other - the control box side - when using the remote makes it more likely that I'll clobber something that I can't see because there's a big tin snail in the way.
I realise too that a certain gentleman from Glou*estershire with a BMW 3 series and a Troll will say that movers are for pansies and that he can reverse his Troll into a fairy ring without squashing a single mushroom
I think that's great, and honestly I'm full of admiration for his skill, but it doesn't alter the fact that since we have a mover there's absolutely no point not using it, and when we are, I'd like to have it work properly.
Anyway, back to the aerial. Are you about, John? Any thoughts on this thing?
P.S. Incidentally, I tried driving the van from inside looking out through the net curtains with the door shut while we were at Stratford. Not only was this a jolly wheeze - which could have been even more of a jolly wheeze if it went twice as fast - but needless to say since me, the remote and the aerial were all inside the van, it worked beautifully.

Hi Pete was this you I saw recently trying to put your van next to the white peg ....
When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!
