Selecting ‘best’ channel - help?

[dlearyous]

So I’ve switched over into FCC mode and have now almost doubled my furthest flight from 700m to 1.3km which was of course epic but I’m still unsure when selecting which channel to use.

I was told to select the channel that has the least noise or closest to -100db. Some times when I select a channel after a few seconds the noise on that channel hops up to -60db whereas other times only -80db.

My question. How exactly do I know that I’ve selected a good channel? Should it remain as close to -100 as possible or do I just look and see which one has the least noise, select that one and start flying?

I'm interested in the answer to this as well..

Stability is most important. Watch for a minute or two and go with the most stable.

Are you saying that stability is more important than less noise? Because that would conflict with what I’ve been reading and heard from others... what is your insight?

Yes.
I know what I have with a weak signal and can deal with it, no signal is a never a good choice.
