A 'static problem' is a sort of broad complaint. Mind narrowing it down a little?

By static i mean i dont belive its recieving like it should.unless the guy is within 5/7 miles i cant get ahold of him and i can barely hear him unless hes running a foot warmer. iknow for sure it can do much better than that stock. Espically with a 9 foot antenna!

Coax on by the way

I would think that you should be able to do better than 5 or 7 miles, can't say why you aren't though, lot's of things can affect what you are hearing or how you are heard. Something around an 'S' 5 is about normal for around here, not really all that high. We aren't using the same radio and antenna though.
Does the time of day make any difference?
