Under the Aircraft status screen I am seeing the above message highlighted in red. With the message below reading "strong interference fly with caution"  I have tried several location with the same results.  This is only happening with the mavic 2 ...........My  Inspire, Mavic Air  and Phanton 4 pro do not show this message.   
Has any one else seen this message pop up ?......... You will see it on the Aircraft staus screen.

Possibly your device. I’d try airplane mode first. Then we go from there.

Hi, we're sorry for the inconvenience caused. Can you please try to uninstall and reinstall your DJI Go 4 App? Then try to test to fly again. Let see if this will work. Thank you.

Ok I tried tried airplane mode with the same results.  I just confirmed this is an isolated issue with my radio,  all my other drones do  not show this warning.   I will be sending back to DJI on Monday.............

I noticed this too with my Zoom, but traced the issue to the fact that my dell computer was within range (about 4 metres) during the switch on period. Once the warning is triggered it tends not to leave for the entire session. Try selecting your channel manually in the video transmission settings. There is a little display graph showing the noise on the frequency band , if you select a range where there is no noise, this always reset the warning for me and helped me trace the source of the interference . I was surprised how sensitive this was to some wifi devices.  A devolo power line wifi extender was another culprit.

Does anyone else have this issue.

Hello fellow Mavic pilots,  I may have solved my problem with the RADIO CHANNEL QUALITY .......POOR  I re-installed the the firmware through DJI assist 2.  Everything went well with the down load and now my RADIO CHANNEL QUALITY has changed to GOOD.  I am glad that I did not send my mavic for service.

I have been getting this same message as well, happens here at the house sometimes and other time it don't. But when i go out to fly some where  it doesn't happen art all. So just maybe its picking up some interference here at the house. I thought the Mavic 2 would switch to the strongest signal on tits own without the pilot going into the settings to do so. I use to have to do this for my Mavic air and spark when flying around my house, anyway I will go into to the setting for my Mavic 2 and chose a good setting for it.

Bad news...........The message is back  " Warning....Radio Channel Quality Poor"   This is only happening with my Mavic 2 zoom ...............I have no issues with the Mavic air, Mavic, pro, Phantom 4 pro and inspire .......all flown in the same location with only the mavic 2 zoom showing .............. Warning....Radio Channel Quality Poor I have a case number for a return on Monday for service.  I believe I have a bad controller...........I wil be sending in for service on Monday.

I have tried choosing channels manually at different locations with no luck,  This seems to be an intermittent issue with only the mavic 2 series .........Pilots beware you will not see this message pop up you need to go in to the status screen, there you will find radio channel quality ............GOOD/POOR you should see  GOOD and not POOR.  I have already opened a case with DJI and will be sending back my mavic 2 zoom on Monday.

I myself try to do the custom setting but every time I would try slide to the less interference side of the graph it was sidle back silty to the side that has more interference so that didn't work. But here is the test that was very interesting when I turn of the internet router in the house I wasn't getting the poor radio quality warning anymore. And I also notice I would get better signal strength even when I would try to Stand behind trees that was in between the RC and the Aircraft. So to conclude it looks my Internet router is interfering with the radio channel of the drone. One thing to note is the while watching the graph its like the RC would go back and forth between good and the bad signal strength instead of just locking on to the good signal. So maybe thats something that can be fixed with an update. I am going to try some other things to see if can get the it to lock on to the stronger signal like it supposed to.

The RC radio channel quality also goes back and forth between good and the bad signal strength instead of just locking on to the good signal.

I'm getting the "channel poor fly with caution" message on the startup screen as well.  It doesn't happen all the time.   Offhand I can't recall what my surroundings were when the message appeared.  I'm going to start remembering what's around me when I see the message and report back.

One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't really have much of an affect on the operation.   I can fly out a mile and still be in control with full bars on the signal strength display.     But, I do get the odd video glitch/freeze when I'm out that far.

DJI ........... will this be fixed in the next upgrade or is it a hardware issue with the controller.  I  have no issue with distance......... I do start to  have issues with video lag/freezing when only out 200 yards.

Further to my post  (#23.above).

I needed to calibrate my compass yesterday evening.   I live in the country so I headed out to the middle of a large field near my house.  Apart from the controller, the Mavic, and my iPad, there was nothing electrical within 100 meters of me.  I sill got the 'channel interference' error.

I see this on every device I have tried. Total of three. I bought a new $500+ phone (Oneplus 6) just because of this issue so I could test it. The issue is not phone related. It is RC/AC /Software related. I still think it is massive interference, but the channel/freq changing is not working correctly in Dual or 5.8 on power on. The sig meters/graphs do not show this though. At least that is what I think.

Here's mine..   It's appearing about 80% of the time when I fly.   I'm out in the country with no sources of RF noise around me.   I opened and captured the Transmission Settings screen about two seconds after the poor radio quality message appeared.
