Hi Derek, 1) Look around the vicinity of the 916MHz receiver. Are the any modern pieces of electronic equipment that might be generating signals? Cell phones, cordless phones (base stations or handsets), laptops with wi-fi capabilities, wireless routers, etc.
2) Have you tried moving the 916MHz receiver to other places in the bar to see if it works in those locations? Pat Lawler EMC Engineer SL Power Electronics Corp.
