    Why is my Midland Atlantic Transceiver reception broken and noisy?
    • K
      Karen RossJul 27, 2025
      Broken or noisy reception on your Midland Transceiver can stem from several factors: * A very weak signal: Try temporarily deactivating the squelch using the Monitor function. * Distance or Obstacles: You or the other party might be too far apart, or the antenna could be shielded. Move closer or relocate to a less shielded area. * Channel Congestion: Other users might be on the same channel. Check the radio traffic and switch channels if needed. * Interference: The radio might be too close to devices like TVs, computers, or transmitters. Move the radio away from these devices.
