When your unit picks up noise during the reep-
tion of broadcasts, causes are rpstly due to ex-
temal obiects such as fluorescent lamps and
house appliances using a mot(r or thermostal,
or other$ thal may induce the noise.
Eilher relocating the unit away from the noise
sources or usirg an improved outdoor antenna
may readily sdve the problem.
