    I've decided I want a wireless control for my winch.

    Superwinch Tiger Shark 9500.

    The Superwinch wireless says range is 50 feet.
    Does anyone have one with better range? Brand doesnt really matter, as long as it's 12 volt.




    The Superwinch 2277 isnt a direct wire for my winch, so I'd be patching it in anyway.

    Why would you need more than 50 ft? You should be in the cab of the truck, with your foot on the gas, keeping your revvs up... or operating the brake.

    Several reasons, none of which matter.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    How much are you willing to spend??

    4or 5 hundred dollars maybe more ?

    How many different functions do you need? How much range?

    Do you need to worry about interference impacting neighbors??
