So here's an odd one for you: I started the game up, went to go move Ghost Roaster off the portal and...noticed he was on the old one not linked up to the system, just next to the new one. Apparently they do interact, go figure?

if they are close to each other (they have an metal ring inside that boosts the signal) the signal can jump from 1 portal to the other. Tho I would not try it to much. if the signal gets too weak when its reading the figure it might corrupt it. (you would then have to reset that figure)

It's not really that, it's just that the signal is pretty large anyway. Most people confuse it as if the second portal is having some sort of affect, but you could stack anything next to your portal, stick a figure on it at the same level as the portal's surface and it'll work. Or, you can just hover it around the edge of the portal - the same thing is achieved.

The second portal DOES have an affect.

The first loop antenna induces a signal on the second antenna. Try it yourself, compare how far away you can put a figure on a block of wood compared to on a second portal.

No. this has been tested on giants. You can put figures on a non hooked up portal, and put it next to the portal that's hooked up to the game, and it will work. I actually had to move my SSA portal away from my SG portal because of that

So i'll have to move my SSA portal away to prevent something happening?

I had something weird happen too. I had my Swap Force portal stacked on my Giants portal and even though my Giants portal wasn't plugged in it was interfering with my Swap Force Portal. It wouldn't read any Skylander...it sure did try though. I moved the Swap Force portal away from the Giants Portal and it work fine...haven't had an issue since.
