communications interference

The range depends on the environment. Steel constructions, concrete
buildings or use of the unit in a vehicle may reduce the range. If
possible, try moving to a place where you have free sight to the
receiving station.
Reception interference

Move away from any electromagnetic sources (high-voltage power
lines, machines with electric motors, etc.).

The sending and receiving units are placed too close together. Keep at
least 1.5 m between the two units.

Try to see if the communication quality is better on a different channel.
