The original poster said that he "must have pushed enough buttons,"
because he was finally able to connect. That suggests to me that his
problem might have been due to some other sort of RF interference,
rather than a fixed network. I see similar situations sometimes with
weather sensors, which also use UHF frequencies, although at the other
end of that portion of the spectrum. One sensor might be blocked for a
few minutes or a few hours. Sometimes when that one re-establishes a
connection, the base will lose another sensor in a different location
for some time.

I haven't yet thought of a likely moving source of RF interference that
could cause that, so I have wondered if atmospheric conditions that
cause RF signals to propagate in unusual ways could be to blame. I am
certain there have been times in the past when I have briefly received
very distant TV stations in the UHF band, probably due to "tropospheric
ducting." Such anomalous conditions sometimes occur around the time of
solstices and equinoxes, but they can occur anytime, sometimes triggered
by solar activity. Sometimes a distant signal can come in so strongly
that it swamps local transmitters.

There probably some people here who know much more than I do about RF,
so I would like to hear what you think.
