Yep, there's not been any report of a monitor not picking up a sensor when we remove it...as long as the monitor was "in contact" with the sensor to begin with.
We're looking at instances like yours, when you had your blow out, where the monitor had apparently lost contact with the sensor and we aren't made aware of it - because the monitor still shows the last reading (for an hour).
With your sensors on your 5th, drive away in your truck and see how long your readings continue to show up after you're out of range. If like ours, the monitor will show your sensors are still being read and everything is hunky-dorey.
That's what happened to you. You were looking at your shredded tire and your monitor still read that everything was okay. The monitor was giving a reading from its memory of the last time it had "heard from" your sensor....which could have been an hour ago.
I'd sure like to know sooner than an hour that my monitor isn't getting a "true" reading and that what I'm looking at on the monitor isn't current and correct.
Hopefully a repeater/booster would fix that, but I don't know of any way to test that.
