Wireless M1 setup

[dgeffs]

I'm trying to locate a keyfob transmitter and wireless receiver for the M1 that has a reasonable range of 50-100 feet where I can push a button on the fob and actuate something on the Elk. I've looked on the Elk site and noticed a couple of receivers but I don't know squat about crystal, non crystal and different alarm technology and of course Elk doesn't make any wireless sensors or keyfobs nor do they recommend actual model numbers of stuff that works with their receivers.

My needs are very simple and yes I am being lazy for not wanting to research this forever. Surely, someone is doing this and can recommend a keyfob and receiver that work together and with Elk. The number of buttons on the fob aren't really important. I could live with one but would prefer at least two or more. Any suggestions?

I highly recommend the M1XRF2G Receiver. You can then use the GEC-60-606-319.5 Keyfob

If you need the other wireless features on the Elk, that's a smart way to go... but an alternative that I use today that works well is this: http://www.caraudio-caralarms.com/dei-519h.html

In my case it was obvious because it works off the same clifford remotes (and high security) as my car alarm so I don't even need a second transmitter on my keychain - and it has 3 channels. The range is a good 200+ ft.
