    To have it on the windshield would have it getting very hot. In the glovebox would be much cooler, and having it under the seat would be very cold (more or less ambient temperature outside).

    So just take it off and slip it under your seat and it'll be fine?

    Oh yeah, I would not expect any troubles with that. You could put it just on the floor but that just looks unsecure. Plus it'll be in the shade under the seat.

    different atmospgeric conditions affect radio waves, ( IE; heat V.S. cold, dust, rain, fog) I forget which way it goes though.

    B[u]ut I do agree that taking the RD out of direct sunlight will keep it cooler and less chance of components going out of spec.


    Most electronics (high-end stuff anyways) use an electrically conductive adhesive as compared to solder these days to combat heat expansion and calibration issues on the circuit board, ( just saw this on "modern Marvels" last week)

    I pull my RD down and stash it in the center console when parked, It seems to stay much cooler that way.

    I have noticed decreased sensitivity on my normal daily falses (door openers)when the weather/unit gets real hot. I am just not sure if it is the units fault, or the dispersion of the signal from the current weather conditions.
