Has your range also decreased?
Not sure I understand the question. The farther I get from the transmitter, the weaker the signal. At 80 feet the signal used to be adequate, now it isn't. I have to get within 5 feet of the transmitter to get a strong signal. Another, similar computer still gets a strong signal at 80 feet.
I'm going to change the transmitter channel tonight to see if that helps.
