The actual, correct spelling is: Magiguhsquirtz.. But the SQ is silent.

Anytone obviously believes these are alternate facts! ? (with apologies to Kelly Ann Conway; well known GMRS jammer in her spare time ?)

Depending on the signal you are listening to, some amount of static/broken reception (aka Picket Fencing) is to be expected.. But, if it's really bad, then you likely have a loose connection in your coax connectors or the antenna mount, etc. You say the connections are tight but also make sure the antenna is not loose on the mount (if it has a screw-on mount). It could also be worn/broken coax. IIRC, the coax..actually more like a thin wire, that comes with the MXT400 is VERY thin and is not very durable. I suppose it is also possible that there is a loose connection inside the radio, but IMHO, that is less likely.. are you sure it's not just regular picket-fencing of a weak signal? If it happens to even very strong signals, then something is loose/worn.

Uhm, I believe the correct spelling would be "Geez". ? : )

@WRMN374 glad to hear it! Always happy to help! I wish you the best and looking forward to seeing/reading about the install.

So I think what you’re trying to do is have some kind of simple Raspberry Pi device that listens to gmrs and ties it to a network on the internet? I have no knowledge of that for GMRS, but I’ve done similar things with a Pi hat for digital mode ham radio so I’ll follow along.

This is a nice little radio. I hear the best GMRS channel on Youtube will be reviewing it a few days before its available for purchase.
