SO in leash mode 1 beep means the receiver is between range 1 and 2 and 2 beeps means it's between 2 and 3 and by those standards should result in a level 1 pulse and level 2 pulse respectively? Having said that I am getting substantially low signal levels from the RF tester on my receiver at less that 2 feet I get more in the 18 range but have gotten 25's before any tips on this issue?
Signal strength is dependent on the wall material, obstacles, refraction from walls, and which way the wearer is turned. That is why we express the ranges in terms of RF power, not distance, as there is no clear correspondence. You can only experiment using various levels until you reach the required effect.
