Transmitter to Reciever Placement

If radios are installed either indoors or outdoors at distances closer than recommended, antennas can 

overpower each other and cause undesired effects. If testing radios within one or two feet, remove both 

antennas. The radios will still be able to signal each other at close distances. This applies to both indoor 
and outdoor units.
