If the area has a dense coverage of sensors from other base stations this can become important. !NOTE! If sensors are already paired to Aranet PRO they will also show up as interference in the radio scan of the channel currently in use. We recommend choosing the channel with the highest availability to ensure that you receive reliable data stream from the sensors and avoid data loss.
