Hi again!
I have a question that isn't really so much about Home Automation as it is about radio waves and antennae:
Right now, I have two transceivers plugged into the same socket. I actually extended each antennae so that they look like bunny ears.
another? Does an antenna "absorb" the signal, thus weakening it for the other device?
I do not know much about this stuff, but intuitively, I would say they would not interfere with each other.
If I had ten FM radios on a table, would the signal get progressively worse for each radio as each antenna was extended??
Or taken a step further... if everyone in a city tuned into the same radio station, would that affect the station's signal?
I have so far experienced no problems (I think).
I have two transceivers piggybacked in one outlet, and in another outlet, I have a third transceiver. My remotes and sensors seem to work 98% of the time.
I would love to take all three transceivers, and plug them in a power bar, side-by-side. I can then add a fourth as well, and hide it.
Do you think that is a good thing, or a bad thing?
I'm sorry if this is a basic radio/physics question, but I don't think the answer is so obvious...!
Thanks!
Mike
