For another, that's either an AM or FM radio (judging by the length). AM is really susceptible to interference, and FM is a bit better, but not perfect. AM usually is affected by glitchy operation, whereas FM usually just gets washed out by the noise and has limited range.
+1, my Spektrum used to glitch terribly until I moved the Rx and antenna away. It only takes a few inches and it makes all the difference. I can drive my RCs so far away I can't see them anymore and still get reception.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
