Resistance:
Obstacles such as walls, floors, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
When considering the distance between the remote sensor and the weather station (200
feet open air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other
obstruction in the signal path.
Closer is better.
Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range.
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal.
Do not mount the remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
Interference:
Consider items in the signal path between the remote sensor and the weather station.
Sometimes a simple relocation of the remote sensor or the weather station will correct
the interference.
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs signal.
Avoid transmitting antennas: (ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports,
military bases, etc.)
Electrical wires (utilities, cable, etc.)
Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
It is difficult for RF (radio frequency) signal to travel through a hill.
