Jason,
A couple common culprits for crappy MBR reception:

- Keep the antenna wire as far from any other wiring or transdeucer cables as you can.

- Wire the MBR direct to the battery rather than through a switch panel if possible. Don't forget breakers though.

- Solder the connections between the antenna and the radio. This is a big one. Don't butt splice or crimp - solder. Solder it, put liquid electrical tape on it, and then shrink tube it. Makes a big difference.

Cheers,
RK
