[wxqc] Wireless Vantage Pro transmission drops

[Mojito Jones]

It sounds like you are getting interference.  I had a similar problem after
my system had been in and running for almost a year.  My solution was to
purchase a repeater.

Whatever the interference was, the repeater is strong enough to overpower it
and I have had no problems since.
