Bryan, I also have the same problem with East Midlands. I have an Icom A200
radio and have noticed that even quite close to EMA that the reception is
poor (lots of static )although Birmingham is loud and clear. I had the
Europa antenna and now have the Bob Archer unit fitted but still the same
poor reception.
One thing I have noticed is that if I switch off the Skymap 11 , the
reception is almost perfect. I have tried using the Skymap on its batteries
to eliminate A/C power but the fault is still there. (have also tried
repositioning the skymap antenna but no improvement.
If you have a Skymap fitted I would try swithing it off to check this out.
If anyone knows how to improve this fault please let me know.
