As far as the oudoor thermometer, Some cordless phones on the same
band search for an open frequency, and wipe out the sync between the
sensor and the clock. I need a cordless phone, more than the outdoor
temperature, so I don't worry about it.

My cordless phones work on 2.4GHz and the remote thermometers
are on 433MHz - a frequency which is shared among many types
of gadgets.

I should add that there seemed to have been a redesign
of the Sam's Club clock about a year ago. The remote
temperature receiver seems better in new ones.
I have 3 different brands of atomic-clocks-with-remote-thermometers
working from one remote Sam's Club remote thermometer transmitter.

Back to ham antennas...
