It's arrived!!!!!
I've updated the firmmare on the M1 and i'm ready to go... But when i saw the suggested 10' from electrical/electronic sources suggestions i got tripped up a bit. I had planned to put this in a central closet where the elk and my other wiring/networking is all located. It's a small little room and this likely won't work...
To make it easy i could put it a few feet away from one of my remote boxes with input expanders in them.... Probably 4-5 away. My preferred location which keeps me fairly central to the house, the outbuilding and most points on the 3/4 acre lot (thinking i may need to use the ground plane antennae as signal will be traveling through block walls as well as interior ones) is near a box containing an input and output expander, relay boards and the 24 wall-wart suppply. It may also be a few feet within my pool equipment and wiring overhead though.
The other panel would have less likelyhood of interferance i'd be 10' away from everythin in my master closet, but it's on the far reaches of the house/lot making.
I know i can buy more than one for coverage, but would like to avoid if possible. I can certainly test and see what happens, but really want it in the location noted above as it's much more central to the lot and closer to my outbuilding.
thx for any input...

P.S. Another question would be whether height a consideration (with or without ground pole antennaes)? I want coverage out in my yard which would probably be up to 150-200' from the receiver. Would moving to upstairs be better. I don't have a real good option there either though because my only closet there has an A/C unit in it...
