What radius max can i expect two way RF dialog to happen?
I understand thieves can work in pairs and relay the signals across some distance. How do hotel lot thieves typically operate? One roams the hallways near your room door and the other stands near the target car? Or do they sit in the lot and try to pick off bi-directional signals?
You guys convinced me to invest $10 in some pouches but just trying to determine when/where we are most vulnerable to intercepts.

I believe the signals don't 'time out'. That's why if you haven't used your car in a while you can still hit the button on the door handle without touching anything on your fob.
Not sure what the maximum radius is for the relay; I would guess it would depend on the strength of the transmitter/amplifier.
One person would be close to where the fob is - he would have the transmitter/amplifier. The other person would be close to your car with the receiver, which I believe would retransmit the signal from the other person at a strength that would make your car think the fob is next to it.
I think lol . . .
