Been googling for awhile now and not coming up with a simple solution to my dilemma.
At my house I have 2 Linear openers. They are 318mhz and came with 3-button remotes.
My goal was to have the middle button do the door at the shop. But a conventional style linear opener for a 12' high door is pretty pricey and not really what I want. I want to install a Liftmaster 3900/8500 series front mount (aka Jackshaft opener). But they run at 315mhz is I am sure my linear remotes wont work right?
I really dont what to have to buy a pair of universal 3-button "multi-frequency" remotes as they arent exactally cheap. And I like the idea of having the third remote that comes with the liftmaster to keep in my truck and only use it to open the garage.
So, If I install the LM3900 opener in the garage, I will have ONE remote for that door. It will go in the truck.
But I need a way to open it from either of the two cars also (which already have 3-button remotes) but wrong freq. Is there a way, or device, or converter, or something that can be mounted at the garage that will pick up the 318mhz signal and convert it to 315mhz to work the liftmaster, and still allow the liftmaster remote to work? Or am I better off just buying a pair of universal remotes?
