I purchased the 69N for our Villa in the Caribbean, they work fine for years.
It was a little challenging to get the right replacement battery.
It's easy to program, a code inside and then the right frequency.
Great product, it works from about 100 ft away. Skylink 69P Universal Garage Door Remote Control
First I purchased the Skylink Transmitter G6MR since it was "100%" compatible with my Overhead Door Company opener. It IS NOT. I was told by skylink support to go by a 12 volt adapter for the receiver or get the model 69N that would work with my current Model 100A receiver.
So, I returned the G6MR and ordered the 69N and guess what. It is not compatible with the U100! According to the first support tech it is, but the second one says they mad a mistake. So I have to make another return to amazon and buy a model 66C!
Just not worth all the aggravation.

My new car does not have Homelink capability and I was looking for a small garage door remote that would be compatible with my DIP switch Genie garage door opener. I wanted the device to be small enough to fit up in my sunglass compartment as to be convenient and unconspicuous. I was a bit worried given the age of my opener it might not be compatible, but thought I would give it a try. It was very easy to "program". The instructions were clear and it works like a charm. In fact, it has a longer range than the original remotes that came with the opener. I plan to buy a couple more to replace the original remotes. Great product. Well worth the money.
I too had an early 90s model Genie garage door opener that was huge and bulky and very retro looking with multi-color buttons. When I went to Sears to try to find a replacement, the salesman actually laughed when I showed it to him. After telling me that I had no options to replace my opener with a keychain remote, I went to the web and only purchased this opener because of another review. I had to read through the instructions for this opener a few times, but was able to get this opener working within about 10 mins.
Have a Craftsman 1/2HP Garage Door Opener model 139.53970SRT manufactured 9/2000 with 'RED' learn button and no DIP switches. 3/2011 purchased the Skylink 69P remote to replace our 2nd Craftsman remote (model 139.53859) which was damaged beyond repair. Was able to successfully get the Craftsman opener programmed for the Skylink 69P, but was NOT able to successfully add the still working Craftsman remote (139.53879) at the same time. Was able to program the Craftsman opener to 'learn' the Craftsman remote, or the Skylink 69P, but not both at the same time. We need two functional remotes. Called and discussed issue with Skylink customer service. They agreed that this has been a problem with some Craftsman openers. Don't know why. I wish this issue had been included in the product description so it wouldn't have been a surprise. Skylink assured me that the Craftsman opener would successfully operate with 'two' Skylink remotes. So, I purchased a second Skylink 69P to replace the still functioning Craftsman remote. Was SUCCESSFUL in getting Craftsman opener to 'learn' and operate with both Skylink 69P remotes. Total cost of two Skylink 69P remotes is slightly less than cost for one Craftsman remote. All is well that ends well.
Had no trouble programming the remote.. you do need to read the instructions, though. The remote is nice and small, and has worked very reliably. I am considering buying more to replace all of our old original "full-size" remotes. - Opener - Garage Door Opener - Remote - Skylink'
