  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.
