Mighty Mule FM135 / Linear RB741-5 318 MHz Gate Remote Compatibility Details
The Mighty Mule FM135 / Linear LIN-RB741-5 is a 5 pack of single button gate remote transmitters for compatible Mighty Mule, GTO, and Linear Pro gate operator systems. This bulk pack is commonly used when a property needs several matching remotes at one time for family members, employees, tenants, service vehicles, community users, or replacement of lost transmitters.
This remote family is commonly associated with the FM135 and RB741 single-button transmitter platform. The listing title may reference Mighty Mule FM135, while the part number may appear as Linear LIN-RB741-5. That type of cross-reference is common with Mighty Mule, GTO, and Linear Pro radio-control parts, but the receiver technology still needs to match before ordering.
What This Remote Pack Does
This 5 pack provides five single-button gate transmitters for compatible 318 MHz gate opener radio systems. Each transmitter is intended to send one command to a matching gate receiver or operator radio board. Depending on the operator and programming, that command may open, stop, close, or cycle the gate through step-by-step operation.
- Provides five matching single-button gate remotes in one pack
- Used for compatible Mighty Mule, GTO, and Linear Pro gate opener systems
- Commonly used for adding users or replacing lost remotes
- Works with the FM135 / RB741 style 318 MHz transmitter family
- Uses adjustable DIP switch coding on compatible receiver platforms

Important Compatibility Warning
This is not a universal garage door remote and should not be ordered only by button count or case style. The receiving equipment must match the FM135 / RB741 318 MHz radio platform. Some garage door openers, newer rolling-code systems, Wi-Fi operators, multi-frequency remotes, and unrelated brands may look similar but will not program to this transmitter family.
If your old remote has a different frequency, a different number of DIP switches, a learn button-only rolling-code system, or a different brand-specific radio receiver, this 5 pack may not be the correct replacement. Confirm the part number on the original remote or inspect the receiver before ordering.

Related Parts and Service Checks
- Check the original remote label for FM135, RB741, or a matching 318 MHz transmitter family.
- Inspect the receiver or control board if the original remote is missing.
- Confirm that the operator still has a working receiver before ordering multiple remotes.
- Replace weak remote batteries before assuming the transmitter has failed.
- Check receiver antenna condition, wire routing, and corrosion if remote range is poor.
- For older systems with unreliable radio reception, consider whether the receiver should be serviced or upgraded.
Technician Note
When ordering a 5 pack, confirm compatibility before distributing remotes to users. It is much easier to test one transmitter at the gate before issuing all five to residents, employees, or service vehicles. If the old remote is still available, match the DIP switch pattern carefully and test the gate from a safe location with clear view of gate travel.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm your existing remote is FM135, RB741, or part of the same compatible transmitter family.
- Confirm the receiver uses 318 MHz Mighty Mule / GTO / Linear Pro style radio control.
- Confirm your system uses the correct DIP switch coding style for this transmitter.
- Confirm that you need five remotes, not a single remote or a different pack quantity.
- Confirm whether you need a single-button remote or a multi-button transmitter.
- Confirm that the gate receiver and antenna are working before replacing multiple remotes.
- Do not order this remote for unrelated garage door opener brands without confirming a compatible receiver.
Installation and Service Notes
Programming typically involves matching the remote DIP switch pattern to the existing transmitter or receiver setup, then testing the remote with the gate operator. On some systems, the receiver or control board may use a learn procedure instead of simply copying an existing remote. Follow the operator or receiver instructions for the exact programming method.
Do not stand in the gate path while testing a remote. Confirm that all required safety devices, photo eyes, gate edges, warning devices, and entrapment protection equipment are installed and functioning. A remote transmitter should never be used to work around a failed safety circuit or unsafe gate condition.
Professional Advisory
If the gate does not respond after programming, do not assume all five transmitters are bad. Check receiver power, antenna condition, DIP switch pattern, radio frequency, battery polarity, operator lockout status, stop circuit, and safety inputs. For unclear wiring, damaged receivers, intermittent operation, or unsafe gate movement, contact a qualified gate or access-control technician.
Product Questions & Answers
Is LIN-RB741-5 the same as ordering five Mighty Mule FM135 remotes?
LIN-RB741-5 is the 5-pack listing for the RB741 / FM135 style single-button gate transmitter family. The title may reference Mighty Mule FM135 while the part number uses Linear RB741-5, so confirm the receiver platform before ordering.
What frequency does the FM135 / RB741 remote use?
The FM135 / RB741 transmitter family is commonly listed as a 318 MHz gate remote. Your gate receiver must match that radio platform for the remote to work.
Does this 5 pack work with all garage door openers?
No. This is a gate remote pack for compatible Mighty Mule, GTO, and Linear Pro style systems. It is not automatically compatible with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, or other garage door opener radio systems.
Can I program these remotes by copying my old remote?
In many compatible DIP switch systems, the new transmitter can be set to match the switch pattern of the existing working remote. Some receiver setups may require a learn procedure, so check the operator or receiver instructions before programming.
What should I check if none of the five remotes work?
Check the DIP switch pattern, battery installation, receiver power, antenna condition, receiver frequency, and whether the gate operator is in a fault or lockout condition. If the gate wiring or safety circuit is unclear, have the system checked by a qualified technician.
Is this the right choice for a property manager or HOA?
It can be a good choice when the property uses compatible FM135 / RB741 style gate receivers and needs several matching single-button remotes. Verify compatibility on one remote before issuing the full pack to residents, tenants, or staff.
Are batteries and visor clips included with the LIN-RB741-5 pack?
The product is commonly listed with batteries, visor clips, and programming instructions, but package contents can change by supplier or lot. Confirm current package contents before ordering if those items are required for the job.
Can this remote fix poor gate range?
A new remote may help if the old transmitter or battery is weak, but poor range can also come from a damaged receiver antenna, corrosion, electrical interference, enclosure shielding, or receiver failure. Check the full radio system before replacing multiple remotes.
