Old timer in Phoenix told me to ditch the wireless panels for hardwired only

I laughed at him 6 months ago when I put in a full wireless job at a new build. That house has had three false alarms this month from interference issues. Anyone else find wireless more trouble than it's worth in certain areas?

I mean, "brutal" feels a little dramatic lol. I saw that same report and it basically said there's "potential" for interference in certain bands, not that your system is gonna go haywire every Tuesday. Phoenix is big with a lot of RF noise from all kinds of stuff, but most modern wireless panels are pretty good at hopping frequencies. Unless you're running some super cheapo system from Amazon, I'd look at placement or a bad sensor before blaming the whole wireless concept.

Read an FCC report that said interference in Phoenix is brutal due to the microwave links.
