TST 507 works for me. Had it for over a year and a half and just now changing batteries. I had to install the relay to get one of my rear tires to report. Great investment. Excellent customer service!

I just bought the TST 507RV from the manufacturer a few months ago. Got a 3 year warranty, and they have great customer service. I have the flow-thru sensors for my inner duals, but I need to change out the valve stem before I use those. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the display and the sensors. Was advised by TST to mount the repeater as far to the rear of the trailer as possible. I installed the repeater in my "communications" closet (the BR wall shared with the bathroom). I had no drop outs from the sensors. It was great keeping track of my tires on the Goshen trip.

The TST 507 is what I bought, shop around for pricing, I think I bought mine directly from TST truck, I think it was the cheapest I found.

From experience I can say DO NOT buy TireMinder.
I had the Tireminder for around 3 years and IMO they are worthless.
Get the the TST 507RV you'll be very happy with them. https://www.vulcantire.com/tst_507rv_4wl_cp_rpt_sys.htm
I think the flow thru would be very handy, but I opted for the caps. The flow through on my TT rims would stick out too far even with my new 3/4" Einky steel valve stems. https://www.shinyrv.com/store/p93/Ei...o_200_PSI.html

I have to ask... you were "advised by TST to mount the repeater as far to the rear of the trailer as possible". Don't you mean the tow vehicle not trailer? It only makes sense that the repeater would be mounted somewhere between your TT tires (that have the transmitter sensors) and your Truck (where your receiver is). I mounted my repeater booster in the nose of my Windjammer to assist in getting the signal to my truck cab, I never lose the signal...

My relay is mounted on the power tongue jack and uses the wiring from the assist light. I put a waterproof cover over the toggle switch with a dab of Goop to hold it in place. Works fine.
My TST 507 is almost 2 years old and just now changing the batteries.

Nope.
TST customer support said "the further to the rear of the trailer the better". He said if I had a class A 40 ft pusher, it should be mounted in the engine compartment. In full disclosure, even though I mounted mine inside the 5er, it is still slightly forward of the trailer axles.

Wow, your tireminder system lasted three years? 
Mine lasted about 800 miles before I sent them to their deaths in a dumpster somewhere in MT.  in that 800 miles, they drove me crazy.
