Hello and thanks for reading about my strange problem.
I am currently working at a house in which I can only get about four feet of range on an MRF-250/300 (both act the same), regardless of placement. After the folks at URC couldn't help (usually they solve my problems immediatley), I turned to the RC forums. I read several posts about what could be causing my problems. The house is full of lutron dimmers and is very near two radio transmission towers, both of which I have read will cause massive RF interference. Here is the weird bit; There is no RF interference!!! On two different MRF-250's and one MRF-300 all set to ID 0 DID NOT BLINK STATUS AT ALL!!! I sat and watched the things for five minutes while on the phone with URC and not one little blink, yet no matter where I place the remote I can only get about four feet of reliable range. I have tried three different MX-850 hand units to no avail. I have installed/programmed hundreds of URC remote controls and never seen anything like this before! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
