  • The efficiency of the system will vary, as will connectivity, depending on many factors, including but not limited to, the distance you are from an antenna, whether you are inside, or outside, the quality of the transmitter in your wireless device, extraneous radio interference, the number of people attempting to use the system at the same time, and if there are trees, electrical transmission lines, buildings or RVs between you and an antenna.
