Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can 

reduce the range.  

 

When considering the distance between the sensor and the Wind speed station 

(330 feet, 100 meters 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 sensors on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the 

effective range. 

 

Interference:  

 

Consider items in the signal path between the sensors and the station.  

 

Simple relocation of the sensors or the Wind speed station may correct an 

interference issue. 

 

Windows can reflect the radio signal.  

 

Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal. 

 

Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference. 

 

Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, 

military bases, etc. may cause interference. 

 

Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close. 

 

Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal. 

 

Dirt: Receiving a signal through a hill is difficult.
