I have reported a suspicion of this before - but now I am confirming this. I started to suffer from a loss of radio reception on my FO1080 - and knew the batteries were ok. When it became a case of more lost than connected I decided to investigate further.
On looking at the transmitter I found a support brace I had installed to keep the transmitter vertical had got dislodged - and the transmitter was off vertical by about 15 degrees. Put the brace back in position, transmitter vertical (receiver is always vertical since the console is attached to a wall) - and radio reception instantly restored and not been lost since. Moral of story - if you suffer radio dropouts on FO gear - ensure the transmitter and receiver are exactly vertical and you will see a big improvement. I do not know if they have to be vertical or just aligned to the same angle - and will NOT be experimenting further (but you can)!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
