... zigbee network to determine its range and where/if more repeaters are needed AND THEN doing it again once the 2nd antenna is installed to see how it has affected the first.

Just a side note:

Once you've added the 2nd antenna, make sure you power the remote off and turn it on within a foot of the 2nd ZM24.  Then, you will be testing ONLY the 2nd ZM24.  Your remote will only be talking to the 2nd one.  The 2nd ZM24 will be talking to the 1st one, but your remote won't.  Wow I need to come up with a better way to explain that.  :)

When you reboot the remote near a new ZM24, it locks on to it.  You can walk the remote back to your 1st ZM24 and press buttons all day and it will be trying to send commands to your 2nd ZM24 even though you're standing right next to the 1st one.  You can watch the activity LED on the 1st one and it won't blink at all.

If you DON'T reboot the remote and add a 2nd ZM24, you'll ONLY be talking to the 1st ZM24.

Fun, isn't it?
