Thanks for all the feedback. Tonight I will mount my transmitter as high in the window as I can and mount it vertically. I will also be moving my receiver modules to the transmitter side of the box. I went ahead and flashed the receivers with the firmware from the wiki last night. Just to be sure I didn't miss anything, it looks like all version 2 wireless equipment uses the same firmware. I only found one version and that is what I used.
Thanks again for the feedback and lessons learned...especially about transmitter orientation. I'll report back on my results.
OH, one other thing I noticed. With version 1.2 equipment last year, my music and lights were perfectly synced. This year, I had to cut off 75 milliseconds off the front of my sequences to get the music and light to be in sync. In other words, on the preview screen, the lights came on at the right time with the music, but the lights in the yard were 75 ms behind. Easy to fix, but just an observation. Didn't know if anyone else noticed that or not.
Thanks again,
