• Among tall buildings
• Near freeway, railway, airports, high voltage cable etc.
• Near construction site
  • Inside concrete buildings
  • Near electrical appliances (computers, TV's, etc)
• Inside moving vehicles
  • Near metallic structures

Place the station at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal surfaces or electrical appliances.
