I tested it for 3 days a wk ago. When I was about to put it in place and tested it was not transmitting.
Actually the xmit light on the 2AT comes on for about 0.1 seconds and it did make my receivers hear that sometimes.btw: I think there was some flakiness last year when I initially tested it but it went away and continued to work and I decided that I imagined it.
