The radio should be connected to a filtered power strip.These filtered power outlet strips are inexpensive and available in most stores.

First, how strong are the signals you want to pick up?
If you are in a very weak signal area, the only solution is to use a large antenna to capture more signal. Have a look on the Web for antenna/aerial construction.
What you've called "static" might just be receiver noise, exactly like the noise you get on an FM set when you tune between stations. If the "static" is *receiver* noise, only a better antenna, or maybe relocating/aiming your radio will help.
Now, if you are in a good signal area, what kind of "static"? It might be interference from machinery, it might be from television sets, or from home appliances or computers.
AM is the most sensitive to static, so it's the best place to start. You can check whether it's coming from inside your home by turning everything else off, and you'll need to turn off at the wall socket or pull the plugs out, as some equipment still creates interference when you've turned it "off" at its control panel.
If the static continues, it's outside your home (it might be from the flat/house next door or it might be a factory or even electric trains). Try getting a portable AM radio and pointing it around. If you get a large *decrease* in the amount of static, you are pointing to (*or* away from) the source. Most AM radios use a ferrite rod antenna which is highly directional at *right angles* to its ferrite core. You may be able to pinpoint the source this way.
FM is *very* immune to static, so if you're getting static on an FM set, either (i) the signal is *very* weak, or (ii) the interference is extremely strong.
If your FM set has a socket for an external antenna, and you have a TV set, get down to your local HiFi/Radio/Tech store and get a lead to go from the TV antenna to your FM radio. TV antennas usually work well at FM frequencies, so this may give you enough clean signal. Be aware that, if your TV antenna is a "UHF-only" type, this may not work too well. Still worth a try.

What are the differences between AM and FM radio?
The main difference between AM and FM radio is the dial-in number and the amount of static each receive. AM radio preceded FM radio, with FM becoming popular in the 1950s.
What type of radio receiver do not respond to static interference?
FM radio is inherently less sensitive to natural noise ... not immunebut significantly less sensitive ... than AM radio is.

What makes FM radios different from AM radios?
AM radio is KHz FM radio is MHz AM radio can cover the world. FM radio can cover a county. AM radio is excellent in communication. FM radio is completely worthless, except for good sound quality. AM radio doesn't have as good sound quality as FM. FM is much higher on the radio spectrum than AM.
What is radio AM?
AM - Amplitude Modulation FM - Frequency Modulation AM radio is simply lower frequency sound waves caused from the transmitter. This can cause the sound to become very soft or loud at stages. Static sound can also me heard from house hold appliances interfering with the Radio. The quality of the Radio can be heard less better than FM.

When was FM Static created?
FM Static was created in 2003.
Why would your radio work on the AM stations and not on the FM on a 99 grand Cherokee jeep?
Am signal but no FM signalAM and FM signals use different antennas to receive the frequencies they use. If you are receiving an AM signal (if you can tune in to an AM radio station), but you can't receive an FM signal (you cannot tune into an FM radio station), then the most likely cause of your problem is that your FM antenna is broken. This is assuming that you get only static while on the FM setting on the radio. If you get nothing, meaning no sound at all, then there is most likely a mechanical or electrical problem with the insides of the radio. (the FM button is broken, the chipset is blown...or a number of other electrical problems)
Is FM Static and Thousand Foot Krunch the same band?
No, TFK and FM Static are not the same band

What ype of radio receivers do not respond to static interference?
FM raidio. because it seems to have a inherent nose reduction capability not possible with AM.

What is an FM radio?
A radio that receives Frequency Modulated (FM) transmissions.
Difference between satellite radio and regular radio?
One of the main differences between satellite radio and FM radio is that there is a cost for satellite and FM is free. Satellite radio also does not operate using the same numerical AM and FM channels as FM radio.
