FWIW - I googled and found a thread from 8 years ago, that mentioned the two wireless systems I used before. Message 1 mentioned the new one i'd come up with. Message 2 had info on the original I had, which was nice till it died after 2-3 years. Neither one had great reliable range, sometimes they'd test over 200 feet but often it was no more than 100. Indeed I got very frustrated with the newer system as at times it would not work farther than 60 feet, a big reason why I stopped using it.

This new fireworks based system.... I got a range of about 80 feet indoors with the antennas DOWN. Still haven't gotten around to doing an outdoor extended antenna test.

From the link above, a schematic for the continuity checker box used with the Linx receiver:

And a photo of my first one, keychain remote resting on the left lower corner of my R/C transmitter, the system’s receiver and relay box (white), and the continuity checker box (black)
