Figured it out... our Cordless telephone system wreaks havoc on this unit. Unfortunately this unit would cost a fortune to return due to stupid brokerage fees I had to pay so it stays. Our Cordless telephone system is also more then just a simple telephone system, it's our fax machine and answering machine as well.

I might have to retire it for a while and buy a cheap 5.8ghz tele.
I took the camera and receiver apart and nothing noticeable inside there that might allow me to boost power. I did notice that on the receiver the antenna is just an exposed copper trace on a circuit board in two long skinny triangle shapes with hole that look like I might be able to mount a bigger antenna. In the camera the antenna is a piece of metal about 2 inches long.
The unit worked perfectly when I pulled power from the base station. There's no way to disable the wireless features of it though

I even wrapped the antennas in layers of foil wrap to see if I could degrade signal... nope, not a bit of a difference.

Copper mesh maybe???
Oh well... I am guessing my 802.11 won't interfere as it stays on one channel once it's set, just like the camera.
