How can I know what channel is the best to use?
Each AvaLAN radio is designed to find the best frequency/channel available. If the radio is having a hard time doing this because of interference, it has built-in tools such as a spectrum analyzer to observe channel behavior and allow you to choose the best channel manually. The process depends on which model radio you are using. Details may be found in the instruction manual which may be downloaded from the product page.
