Default Need ideas FM interference :weird:

I am crazy pissed off with all my old stuff right now.. in the last week something has really screwed up all my FM radio stuff.

I cant be more than 2 feet from a car and the car freaks out, like a loss of signal.. 2 different radios, 6 different receivers, 75 band and 27 band different esc's and batteries etc..

YET DSM works (module in Mars), and AM works (old airtronics).. I can only think there is something new in my area that is messing with the FM band.. THIS is the weirdest thing I have ever seen.

Anyone have ideas, I have tried 6 cars with different stuff.. so EVERY part has been in and out.. the Mars I have 4 sets of crystals, and they all are crap .. I am lost..

James

Have you tried using it in another area, like a few miles away? If it is a local signal disturbance, that would be a tell-tale.

Very weird.

Has the local police switched to Motorola STARS system?

SOLVED

It was the FM module in the MARS.

The other radio I guess I did not have the module in right.. or crystals,, now it works..

SO I am in the market for an RF-103F lol... jezzz
