tpms repeater

I have the 507 and the 510 systems. 510 is for marine use so it's on my boat trailer. Before I go repeater route, I recommend you try to place the base unit up high. In my case the best spot on the 507 unit is the sunroof, passenger side (suction cupped) with the display pointed towards me. It's up high and in a clearer line of sight to the trailer tires. I now only lose a signal about every 1k miles and the signal comes back within 20 minutes on it's own. If you hold it up and the signal works, then consider a longer antenna before the expense of a repeater.

Just curious how you know you've lost a signal? The alarm and no reading on the monitor? You do know that when the alarm goes off you've been without that signal for an hour. So if it reconnects within 20 minutes, you've essentially been without any contact with that sensor for an hour and 20 minutes.

FWIW if you lose a signal, and it reconnects before an hour you'll never know that you had lost the signal. A huge shortcoming with the TST system. The notifying time should be only a few minutes, an hour is ridiculous.
