Resistance:
•
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
•
When considering the distance between the sensor and the weather station (300 feet,
91 meters open air) cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other
obstruction in the signal path.
•
Closer is better.
•
Do not mount the sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective
range.
Interference:
•
Consider items in the signal path between the sensor and the weather station.
•
Simple relocation of the sensor or the weather station may correct an interference
issue.
•
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
•
Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military
bases, etc. may cause interference.
•
Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.
•
Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
•
Dirt: Receiving a signal through a hill is difficult.
