I will have them on Monday and will immediately put one to test. Should also have them available on my site Monday. Now if we could only get the CM-232's. Bill www.homeautomationnet.com

If anyone is interested I now have these in stock and available at $59. I tested it out and it did add about 25 to 30 feet as RTI advertised, but then again I am getting about 70 feet with the normal setup. In the short time I have been playing with this, I have experienced better all around performance over the standard IRF-6 antenna. I hope RTI makes this standard on future production. I have not tried this in dual antenna mode yet. Bill www.homeautomationnet.com

I just attached the RF antenna from a Sony A4 Sat receiver to the IRF6 and it manage to double or triple the RF range. Needed to buy a BNC female to RCA female adapter to make the connection.

Wow, that much better than I got. I have noticed no holes in my macro operation. I cured that also with the dual antennas but that option is still not readily available. Bill www.homeautomationnet.com
