• Consider the distance the clock is located away from other electronic in the home.
Resistance:
• Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
• When considering the distance between the transmitter and the clock (330 feet 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 transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective
range.
Interference:
• Consider items in the signal path between the transmitter and the clock.
• Sometime a simple relocation of the transmitter or the clock will correct the
interference issue.
• Windows can reflect the radio signal.
• Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
• Stucco is held to the wall by a metal mesh.
• Transmitting antennas (ham radio, emergency dispatch center, airports, military base
etc.)
• Electrical wires (utilities, cable etc.)
• Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
• Dirt: Trying to receive a signal through a hill is difficult.
