This will never work well, even if you straighten out
the channel assignments unless you turn down the receiver
sensitivity, or re-orient the antennas at both houses
so they no longer hear each other.
The RF still occurs on the same frequency regardless of
the channel setting, and if both customers are mashing
their remotes at the same time, the signals will interfere
*and* can get mixed up.
This is also an issue if you use more then one RF remote
in the same household at the same time.
You are, of course, correct if each receiver can hear the remote from the other house. If the sensitivity of the RFX-150 is set to minimum and will still operate the components within its own system, it may not hear the remote next door. In this instance, the professionally installed system seems to be working flawlessly which would seem to indicate that the sensitivity of the RFX-150 is set to the minimum needed to operate its own components and it does not hear the neighbor’s remote.
nh-hifiguy is fortunate that he installed the RFX-150 and not the new Flagship RFX-250. Because the 250 has greater range and no way to reduce the sensitivity (that I have heard about), his customer could be having problems too if he had used the latest and greatest.
Does anyone know of a way to reduce the sensitivity of the RFX-250 in calculated steps without just removing the antenna?
