I have 2 CM15's online since last summer.
"ONE" is disconnected from the PC and
centrally located in the home. "TWO" is
connected 24/7 and does the iWitness stuff
and a few other odd macro jobs. Both contain
macros and timers. I purposefully set "TWO"
to NOT transceive any of the housecodes that
"ONE" was working. I made a simple antenna
mod to "ONE" by pulling the excess (in the
box)antenna wire out the top of the "existing
antenna, soldering another 9 or 9.5 inches
forgot what I measured, to the end of the
first, glued a thin hollow antenna tube to
the whoe thing and put it back in the utility
room. Viloa, my range covers the entire
house and some outside now and both CM15's
are sharing the load. I use the connected
CM15 to monitor PLC's traveling on the wire
etc... It has been working pretty darn well
for months now. The only problem that STILL
exists is the CM15's inability to handle 2 or
more incoming motion (rf) signals within a
second of each other. If they are on top of
each other, one will be ignored. Nothing we
can do about that, it is a hardware/software
problem. The CM15's need a store and forward
architecture much more robust than now
exists. All in all, my cm15 pair setup works
pretty well.

Oh, now if I had them both set to transceive
one of my most used RF housecodes, as I did
try once, things get a bit confused...smile
