When I put on any of the weather frequencies there is alot of static even when I redirect the antanna. Why is that?

Weather antennas are very low power and may be more distant than your AM and FM radio towers. Visit: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm for frequencies and power out of the antenna in your area.

I traveled from Cincinnati to Cleveland to Detroit to Dayton and back to Cincinnati without any issues. It works best when you use a station that is not assigned to a call number (in other words, where you hear static) and the number on either side does not pick up a station either. However, as long as you can find a station with static, you should be fine. If you happen to travel somewhere and the number you choose starts to pick up a station, just adjust your station and the transmitter to match.

It's difficult to say. While it could be component failure in the amp, it could also be interference between your location and the broadcaster, such as larger trees than before, newer buildings or even machinery in factories. Digital transmissions are delicate, and I find my reception is affected even by windy days moving the trees and branches a lot. I know how frustrating it is. Try moving the antenna location, even a foot one way or the other can make a huge difference with DTV interference. My internet-cable company installed a new modem in my house and now I can't get any AM radio reception due to the terrible noise it is silently generating on the airwaves. Just loud buzzing. As soon as I unplug it, I get perfect reception all over the house. Could you have anything new, nearby, ie Microwave oven, electronic power supply for laptops or phone chargers etc? I find that a lot of the offshore made electronics lacks proper shielding. Very poorly made stuff. Just some ideas. Good luck.

hello, turns out I returned this product - at a distance of only 15' I was picking up "static" on any frequency. went back to my original Amphony 5.8 GHz model 1500 wireless audio transmitter / receiver. however the 1500 only does audio.

Sounds like it's too much squelch. Turn it up until you have a constant static, then back it off until there's nothing. That's what we did and we don't have that problem.

The instructions that come with the radio are inadequate in regard to that subject. The radio has 7 NOAA channels which one tunes to the strongest one; then the ALERT button is pressed to put the radio in the ALERT mode. I am making a presumption that will activate during severe weather alerts; not had any such alerts yet this year. I also have severe weather alerts that come from an area TV station and that should let me know if the ALERT function on the radio work accordingly.

To be very honest, I have not used this unit in quite some time. I am still trying to figure out HOW this damn thing works.I know all local frequencies by heart, but setting up which where who and how..... just to get the thing to scan is less than impossible. I have used other brands in the past with excellent results. I think this was a mistake. But to answer your question, some emergency departments have the burst of "static" sounding stuff at the end of each transmission. You might try turning down the SQUELCH. This may not help but I tried.

I was using the cable with a PS3, and the "static" appeared regardless of what I was doing: playing games, watching a movie, going through the menus. Perhaps static is not the best word - it's not as though the entire screen went to snow. I could still see the picture, however there was definitely visual, random, moving interference on top. As for isolating the cable as the problem, I tried switching to another HDMI input, the problem persisted. I tried updating the PS3 firmware, the problem persisted. I checked the tv settings, nothing really to change there. I swapped the cable for another (GE), voila!, "static" gone. Maybe not scientifically indisputable, but a fair application of the process of elimination. Fwiw, Amazon did honor the warranty and send me a replacement cable. I opted to stick with the GE because it's performance has been solid so far.

I installed an amplifier and several antenna's but nothing helped, image still breaks up. I took a road trip through several cites in Florida and had the same problem. Only strange thing was while driving around Altanta GA, I had perfect reception of Fox Ch 5 at 65mph for about 70 miles, from around Gainesville to Forsyth GA. I was watching the world series, this is the only time I had perfect reception.

I have not had this problem.. No static on my device check if there is like a modem near by That could probably cause the static.

Most likely due to a weak signal. Try a station close by and see if it's still a problem.

I have XM radio. However we used to it in some pretty remote areas of the Northwoods. The weather band was already used. There were a couple that came in pretty clear the rest were pretty staticky but I could still hear the forecast and I could still prepare for any income at weather. They work great for 18 bucks.

I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks. I live 17 miles in a straight line from the local broadcast towers. When it's windy outside, sometimes a station will not come in. Also during rainstorms. You should go to antennaweb.org, where you input your address and they tell you what kind of antenna should work for you. I've found the flat antenna works a little better than a more 3-dimensional one, but your mileage may vary. Amazon's return policy is pretty liberal though. If it doesn't work for you, they'll take it back. Just be gentle with the packaging. I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks.

It feeds through radio. FM station. You here lite background static when the songs play, but in between it gets much louder.

I have that same issue, I thought at first it was coming from the show I was watching but that wasn't the case. I'm debating on returning it for a replacement. The static can be quite annoying at times...

I have never experienced this issue but I would be alarmed if it did. I would contact the manufacturers right away. It could be a static issue but I would confirm.
