Yes I have sent it back to have the battery updated and also tested as they suggest every 5 years. I also have been using a TPMS (Tire Pressures monitoring system) on my motor home for over ten years now as well. This TPS system comes with a repeater which helps send the signal to the dash monitor. So my pea mind started to churn and ask some questions. Could the signal from the pressure sensors be interfearing with my weather station pager? At first I thought it may be Keith using his "Easy Button" scrambling my signal but then said to myself "Naa he wouldn't do that now would he" Just kidding Keith. Anyway I called Alta Lab and they told me the pager and weather station communicate with a UHF 460-470 band. Then I spoke to the people from TST who makes and sells the TPMS system that I have. They advised me that the sensors on the valve stems send RF signals constantly as long as the is air pressure to them. I only remove them to change the batteries once a year. They have button cell battery in each one. When I presented my question of interferring they advised me they would check with thier engineers and get back to me. Sooo I thought I would run this by the racing comunity for opinions. I am sure many of you guys and gals use the TPMS on your rigs.
Opinions appreciated.

That only happens when I?m racing at Lebanon Valley you know that!
anyhow I have my pole and weather station antenna directly above my TPMS booster and I?ve never had an issue never really thought about that. But it definitely sounds like you?re getting some kind of interference like RFI
have you tried to move the entire set up somewhere else i.e. out of the trailer into the motorhome, etc?
