If the radio is not communicating properly, you may be

experiencing interference from nearby equipment such as wireless

phones, other spread spectrum radios, or another TurfWeather

weather station. Changing some settings on your radio and

weather station should rectify this situation. Contact your local

distributor for assistance.

your weather station at the site.
