Still, the company clearly claims that the cradle improves the communication signal so I appreciate the efforts of those who have tested. There are various sources of signal degradation. I doubt that multipath interference due to buildings, etc. would be improved by a better antenna because each poorly-synched signal component would "benefit" equally.

I have this issue if I have my key fob and phone in the same pants pocket but if I put them in separate pockets there are no problems.
