If you were to make *technical* arguments more compelling than "neaner neaner" I might believe that RadioRA is far superior to the RF systems that have been knocked out by military transmissions. "It works for me" really only tells us about your location, your installation and your operational parameters.
The question here is very simple: "Does RadioRA provide protection from the kind of interference that has been shutting down RF car and garage controllers across the country?" So far the answer to that is "nobody seems to know for sure."
Ridiculous extreme? Military transmitters have been interfering with home and car RF controllers across the country. The problem's quite real for hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Because this is a discussion group, and the claim has been made that RadioRA isn't prone to the shutdowns that have plagued people in Colorado and Virginia (you *are* making that claim, aren't you?) it really requires some further investigation. I've provided Lutron's tech support numbers so that anyone considering Lutron's RadioRA can ask for themselves, at the source, whether RA is resistant to the problems facing other home control RF users. That's not extreme. It's just being thorough.
Since you don't live in an area known to be affected, your implication that RA is resistant to jamming really isn't substantiated simply by your experience. Want to convince me? Find an RA user near Elgin AFB or Quantico that's unaffected. Or post some sort of technical explanation as to why RA is immune to jamming that shuts down other RF controllers and I surely will "give it a rest." Right now, my admittedly limited understanding of radio transmissions tells me that a stronger transmitter will completely drown out a weaker one on the same frequency.
I can think of one way of making a transmitter/receiver somewhat "jam proof" - it's a modification of earlier military technology - and that's to use two completely separate transceivers on very different bands in the same unit. If one of the bands is jammed, the radio falls back to a far different frequency. I've seen nothing in the RA literature to lead me to believe they've got such a system, but it's possible. Details like that would tend to shut down debate and "give it a rest" a lot faster than yelling FUD in a crowded radio spectrum that's only getting more crowded.
Will RA fall victim to the same sort of environmental changes in its transmission medium that hobbled X-10 in theirs? Only time will tell what happens in this increasingly wireless world.
