RE: (ukha_d) X10 (RF) signal problem

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Can't help you there ... Mobile Phone transmitters are a problem though and
do cause very localised dead areas. If I park in the car park at work then
in three of the six spaces I can arm my alarm from the keyfob - the other
three I can't!
