The LiftMaster K001C3196-3 is a 315 MHz replacement antenna for select LiftMaster commercial slide gate operator radio systems. On a gate operator, the antenna is the part that helps the receiver pick up the signal from compatible remote controls, keypads, and access transmitters. A missing, bent, corroded, or poorly routed antenna can reduce operating range and make a remote seem weak even when the transmitter battery and receiver are still good.
This antenna is most commonly found in SL575GL and SL595GL slide gate operator service information and is tied to 315 MHz radio equipment. It should be matched by part number, frequency, and parts diagram rather than by appearance alone. If the operator uses a different receiver frequency, replacing the antenna with this part will not convert that system to 315 MHz.
Use this item when the operator parts diagram calls for K001C3196-3 or the related K1C3196-3 antenna. For continued reception problems, a technician should also check antenna cable routing, receiver condition, remote programming, electrical noise, and physical obstructions around the gate operator.

Poor remote range is not always caused by the antenna. Check transmitter batteries, receiver programming, coax/antenna connections, antenna placement, nearby electrical interference, and receiver board condition before assuming this part is the only failure.
Gate operator radio problems can involve receiver wiring and operator controls. If the operator moves unexpectedly, has missing safety devices, or has damaged control wiring, have the system inspected by a qualified gate technician before returning it to service.
K001C3196-3 is a 315 MHz antenna. It should be used only with compatible LiftMaster radio receiver systems that are designed for 315 MHz operation.
It is commonly associated with LiftMaster SL575GL and SL595GL slide gate operators when the operator parts diagram calls for K001C3196-3 or K1C3196-3.
No. An antenna does not change receiver frequency. The receiver, remote, keypad, and antenna system must all match the correct radio technology.
It may help if the original antenna is missing, damaged, corroded, or poorly connected. Weak range can also come from transmitter batteries, receiver problems, interference, or bad antenna routing.
No. It is a LiftMaster 315 MHz replacement antenna and should be matched by part number and receiver frequency before ordering.
