It is very important to test reception from the proposed location before perma-
nently mounting the temperature station.
Place the shelter at the intended mounting site, or have someone hold it there,
so you can walk around with the console/receiver for a few minutes. Rotating
the antenna may help to improve reception.
Test wireless reception anywhere you might want to use or mount your con-
sole/receiver now or in the future. Take your time. If you aren’t picking up
strong signals where you intend to place your console, better to move the shel-
ter now than after it has been mounted. Experiment.
If you have irregular terrain in the area, it may interfere with the signal. For
example, if the transmitter is mounted downhill from the console/receiver, the
ground may block a wide angle of the transmitted signal.
