   Thank you John.  I have had just one signal that got through and   
   reported the signal strength at -95dBm, and the outside temperature at   
   7.2°C.   
      
   So it seems that its signal strength rather than temperature that is the   
   issue, and the hardware is actually working but not getting enough signal.
