I like my TST system but I don't like what I feel is an excessive time delay between when the monitor loses the signal from a sensor, and when the monitor notifies you that the signal has been lost. An hour is a long time to be without contact and not know it.

I had the same problem with mine, but I spoke with the techs at TST about it and they suggested installing their repeater. That totally fixed my issues. You may want to talk with them about it.

Happy travels!

Yes, the repeater will probably solve the problem of the monitor losing contact with the sensor. But it doesn't solve the problem of it taking an hour to notify you that it happened. You could lose contact with the sensors for 45 minutes several times a day and never be aware of it. That's what bothers me. I am of the opinion that any rig over 35 feet should be supplied with the repeater at the time of sale. Charge more if necessary, but make people aware of the time issues of losing contact.

I am having a little trouble here. Are you saying the tire remains visible with readings on your monitor, but you are not receiving the signal from the pressure sensor for up to 1 hour? Is this typically intermittent?

If you are still visibly seeing tire on monitor how do you know you have lost signal?
