Maybe a phone mast has been installed lately nearby, or the receiver board is on it's way out? try holding the remote to your chin, and see if it gets any better, and no, i'm not avin a laugh!

 

I had the same problem around phone masts, police stations and hospitals. Spoke to TOAD and they said the pre 1999 alarms were set to 433 Mhz, but the government granted a licence for 420-430 Mhz to be used, so you are getting bleed over. Yes, seriously, if you hold the fob to the side of your head, you create an amplification of the signal through your bent arm and this can work.

I got hold of the top man at TOAD and moaned, he sent a new unit for free and I got it fitted for £40, no further problems now.

If you want the codes for setting the various features on the Sigma M30, mail me at bullkeith@aol.com and put Sigma codes as the subject.
