I was interested in a comment in the post:
http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=32189.msg330554#msg330554where Rychu commented that the outdoor sensor unit used the 433MHz, 866MHz and 915MHz "...carried all three bands simultaneously".
My situation is that my outside unit has twice now required being reset because it has stopped communicating with the console. In both cases it was shortly after I was using the 70cm band to transmit (I'm a radio amateur: VK3ANZ) and I'm suspicious that my transmissions stopped it working although I have not had the opportunity (yet) to test if this is actually the cause of the problem.
As I want to stop this from happening in the future, I was wondering if there was some way to move to the 915MHz band.
Now for my questions:
1) Is there a way to use the same console and outdoor sensor on another frequency? If the outdoor sensor is using all 3 frequencies simultaneously, is the console capable of using another band without a hardware "hack"?
(I know that the firmware has different versions fort 433MHz and 915MHz but I suspect that this is not the only thing to change to move to a different band.)
2) Is there a way to remotely "reset" the outdoor unit? Being Winter here in Australia, the roof is too slippery to go onto right now to reset the unit so I'm "off air" as far as my weather station is concerned.
