Arducopter v2.8.1 on an X8 and also a quad

Mission Planner 1.2.23 mav 1.0

I have noticed that my unused channels on the Radio Configuration screen in the Mission Planner fluctuate a lot.  While channels 1-5 may fluctuate maybe 3-5 points, the unused channels 6-8 may fluctuate about 50 points or more.  If I look at a flight log, it shows the fluctuations in the graph.

I had the RX channels connected to the APM 2.5 inputs, so I disconnected them.  Same thing, the unused channels bounce about in the Mission Planner.

How do folks handle this?  Should I not worry about it?  Should I assign TX switches and redo the radio calibration?

TIA,

Rick
