The W800 and the antenna that it came with seem to be working great in my attic of my 2 story home. I have taken the batteries out of every single RF transmitter, motion sensor, any thing that the w800 can read. I get no signals as expected with the very detailed logging on.
About once every 2 - 3 hours I get one corrupt tansmission message in the w800 log (With very high details logging on)
I decided to build the old c. Once I finished assebling the turnstile antenna I placed it in my attic next the the factory default little antenna and connected the coax that used to go to the factory default little antenna to the new Dave Huston turnstile antenna.
Well when I went to the homeseer log, I was now getting a corrupt RF Transmission every 2 seconds!!! I went back into the attic and reconnected the the factory default little antenna and the homeseer log of the w800 is quiet again.
Where could I have screwed up with the the factory default little antenna?
The range with the factory default little antenna is just fine (well over the perimetr of my house... I got about 4 houses away before I decided this was far enough)
I am curious why min fails when everyone else seems to love the turnstile antenna.
