   I'm guessing one of your RCX units is a 1.0, while the other is a 1.5
(labeled 1.0, but without the power port) or 2.0? There are a very few hardware

I think you can adjust the transmit value from the
software...

   It's possible to specify a "lo" or "hi" transmitter power (at least in NQC).
This *might* help (but the "hi" setting will of course use the battereies
faster). New batteries on both the transmitter and reciver would be a good idea
