I assume is has something to do with creating a chamber with your mouth??? amplifiying the RF?? Don't ask me to explain it, but I've been doing for for years (yes, I should just change the batteries!  ) |
I tested this on my car. I went to the maximum range where the remote would stop working, then I held it under my chin and lo and behold, it worked again!
