Has anyone ever had this problem. When you listen to your sequence music on your car radio there is static.. I use a antenna that built made of pvc to transmit . What might be the problem? Thanks Rick

Which transmitter? Make sure your antenna is the proper length for your broadcast frequency (station). Might also try a different frequency. When I had an cheap transmitter, I found that some frequencies sounded better than others (even though they are both "open"). Any other electrical equipment near the transmitter that might be causing interference? Just a few of my initial thoughts.

Rick,

If someone came to you and told you as much about your set-up as you have told us. Do you think you could even begin to tell them anything?

SO, what transmitter? What antenna? Where is the antenna? How is the antenna mounted? If your transmitter is got a switch or pot. to adjust power, what is the current setting?

Try to answer those questions and maybe myself or others can make some suggestions.

Wise guy. The Tru-Match is a folded dipole that is made with 300 ohm twin lead and is stuffed into a PVC pipe to hold the twin lead out straight. Also the PVC pipe protects it against weather.

But I did see what you did there. ;)
