. can anyone suggest anything i can do??? to get rid of the interference extremely loud and persistent buzzing sound is all i get on all stations on the dial.
I obviously cannot ask them to stop using their equipment...wouldn't go down too well with them!

Antenna?? Is your set grounded??
Terry

Hi Terry,


I should have mentioned I am a complete novice to this.

This radio, I purchased from the US, I live in the UK, The guy I bought it from fitted a 220v transformer so that the radio could be used in this country.

It has only twin, live and neutral cabling.. Should I earth(ground), the chassis, if so, to which part of the chasis should i ground it and swap to three prong wire.

Terry could you also suggest a book for complete novices like me who wants to learn more, safely, but without blowing myself up!!!
