keycard not working in specific location

Postby Victor Meldrew » Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:07 pm

Hi , I was wondering if wi fi hot spots have given anyone trouble with their keycard?
My card refuses to work when parked on the road outside my daughters house . No where else has this happened!.
I've visually scanned the roof tops for aerials ham radio/cb radio , none seen.
Wi fi seems a possibility .
I remember a case in Windermere, where customers were in the same pickle due to a cafe owner having Rt connections to his waitresses' electronic order pads!

I had this in a certain Shell Garage forecourt recently although the battery on the card was getting low at the time so something may have interfered with it maybe?

Do you have hands free keycards or the normal ones?

From the AA website:

The operating frequency (418Mhz or 433.92Mhz) is close to those used by MoD communication, radio amateurs and other common applications.

Live near an airbase?!

Red 03 plate 5dr 1.9 Dynamique dci120

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!
