Rolland, unfortunatly, none of that is the problem ( as i have already illimnated those possiblities ) with exception of possible interferance due to being an AM radio....., but to date it did this from out of box, i just never looked into it until today cuz today was the 1st day i really got to a spot i could open it up due to available driving area and driving surface conditions............
i ve have drove this car in 4 different places, and they are all in differnt areas with about 10miles distance between them.. so i dont think interferance is an issue unless my bodys electrical system is the interferance, and im not making light of it, i can not wear a watch with any battery, it must be a wind up.. i put a new watch on thats battery operated, its dead in 24 hrs.. new battery, dead in 24 hrs. any battery operated watch i wear against my skin discharges in a day, my mother also has this problem....

the four places i ve drove the car is: my place here where the road is tar and chip, out in the country, so didnt even attempt speeds or distance traveling, this was during breakin so... a local park, this is where i first noticed the issue, all duracell coppertops, all new that day, was there 30 minutes and that day never got over 40 feet without loosing the signal......... all batteries proceded to work right up until they were to weak when i put them in the other mts i have.... a local church parking lot, and again noticed issues.. this time with the 8 duracell rechargables in the tx with a v reading of 11.4 when turned on and a 5 cell ofna hump pack fully charged, and then today with all new energizers in the Tx and 4 fully charged duracell rechargeables in the car, the rechargable have NEVER been an issue on any of the other 5 txs i have or any of the mts/ helis/ or planes ive used them in...... any OTHER possibilities....?
