Linear Pro Access 362-D FM135 Remote Control Single Button Transmitter
The Linear / GTO / Mighty Mule RB741 FM135 Single Button Remote is a handheld transmitter used on compatible GTO, Mighty Mule, and Linear Pro Access gate opener radio systems. This remote family is commonly found on older and current service applications where the receiver uses the RB74x/FM135 style 318 MHz dip-switch coding. It is used as an extra remote for a new user, a replacement for a lost or damaged transmitter, or a service replacement when the existing receiver still matches this transmitter technology.
The most important fitment detail is the radio system, not just the brand name on the gate operator. Linear, GTO, Mighty Mule, and Nice/Linear-branded gate products have used different receiver families over time. The RB741 should be matched to an existing RB741, RB742, FM135, or compatible dip-switch receiver setup. If the site uses a different frequency, rolling-code receiver, MegaCode receiver, garage-door-only receiver, or a modern learn-button board that does not support this transmitter family, this remote will not program correctly.
For gate systems that already use compatible RB74x/FM135 transmitters, setup is usually straightforward: match the transmitter code switches to the receiver or to a working transmitter. On multi-operator properties, the two-button version can be used to control more than one compatible receiver channel. When using a transmitter for garage door control, the garage door operator typically requires a compatible external receiver rather than direct programming to the garage opener itself.
Important Ordering Warning
This row has a catalog-name conflict: the product name references 362-D / FM135, while the mfgid is RB741. The visible content treats this as the RB741/FM135 single-button transmitter family. Confirm the intended item before upload if the catalog name is changed.

Technician Note
If a new transmitter will not operate the gate after the code is matched, the issue may be the receiver, antenna, battery, receiver power, range interference, or a different radio family at the site. Do not assume every Linear-branded remote works with every Linear-branded operator.
Before Ordering
- Open the old remote or receiver and confirm the transmitter family.
- Confirm the remote uses the correct frequency and dip-switch format.
- Match the number of buttons to the job: one channel for RB741/FM135 style use or two channels for RB742 style use.
- Confirm whether the receiver is built into the operator or installed as an external receiver.
- For garage door use, confirm the proper compatible receiver is installed.
Professional Advisory
Remote replacement is normally low-voltage programming work, but gate movement can still be hazardous. Keep people, pets, and vehicles clear of the gate while testing any new transmitter. Do not defeat photo eyes, safety edges, or other safety devices to make a remote appear to work.
Product Q&A
What frequency does the RB741 remote use?
This remote family is commonly associated with 318 MHz dip-switch GTO, Mighty Mule, and Linear Pro Access receiver systems. Confirm the receiver before ordering because newer or unrelated radio systems may use different technology.
Is the RB741 remote compatible with all Linear gate openers?
No. It is used with select GTO, Mighty Mule, and Linear Pro Access gate openers that support the RB74x/FM135-style 318 MHz dip-switch transmitter. It is not automatically compatible with every Linear, Nortek, Linear MegaCode, or garage door opener receiver.
How is the RB741 transmitter programmed?
This style is normally coded by matching the small internal dip switches to the receiver or to an existing working transmitter. It is different from push-button learn programming on many newer opener systems.
Can the RB741 operate more than one gate?
The RB742 two-button version can be used for two compatible channels when the site has the proper receivers. A single-button RB741/FM135 is normally used for one gate or one receiver channel.
What should be checked before replacing an old remote with RB741?
Check the old remote number, receiver model, operating frequency, dip-switch format, and whether the system is GTO, Mighty Mule, or Linear Pro Access. Similar-looking remotes from other brands may not be interchangeable.
