I'm looking for an AM/FM radio like this that would work well at a live NFL game. In fact it's at the loudest NFL stadium there is (Century Link Field in Seattle). Would these work well in blocking out crow noise while simultaneously listening to the Seahawks game on the radio while i'm watching it in the stadium. Thanks in advance for any and all input.

These will work perfect for what you are in need of. I wore them at a very loud NASCAR race this summer and had no problems hearing and understanding the radio broadcast. Further, with a set of strong batteries, I had no problems picking up the station either (even when moving about the facility). I would definitely recommend them for your game.

It should as long as you have decent reception of the radio station broadcasting the game.

Yep, this is probably your best option. I mow with the and I can not hear the mower.

Good question. I know the CB portion will work. It is one of the best I have ever had and very easy to tune, but as far as the AM and FM bands, I don't know. I am pretty sure you have two coax cables coming out of your radio. One for the standard radio and one for the CB. I probably did not help you.

We have the same problem, despite having isolated which band was best for our location. It seems that doing the auto search function will sometimes solve this issue, which appears to have something to do with compression cutting out a weak signal. The only real solution I've found is to keep them on the stage very close to the performer, fresh high quality batteries, and check the frequencies often (right before show etc...)

Find a station that absolutely does not come in and use that one. I've used it in vehicles that have awesome reception and it can be a pain some times because you might have to change stations on both the unit and the stereo to continue to listen. Usually the higher and lower channels are not used (I.E. 88.1 or 107.1)

That's funny, cos in spite of what Mister Turbation has stated, plugging a mic directly into mine works great. I'll plug a mic into a GUITAR amp, cos it sounds better that way for the trashy 60s garage/punk alternative type of stuff we do, and this works on THAT, even. Clean channel only of course...I don't think there's anything that could keep a mic from howling were it plugged into an amp's dirty channel...Now I'm no sound man, so maybe the intended purpose wasn't to plug mics directly in, but I didn't know that. But even pushing my luck with it that way still works.

The Radio that I have has a plug in antenna connector that seems to be like a headphone jack(8mm I think?),the radio comes with a roll up antenna that kinda works,but you could download the details/instructions off the Sony site probably?in fact there are also amplified antenna's out there,but that might amplify noise also?Check out some of the radio equipment sites for accesories,I've seen that some of these guys make their own antennas with just a copper wire streached out in the backyard with a connector soldered on,maybe Radio Shack or Universal Radio can help?I seem to get along with what came with the radio or I'm just to lazy to order and install a real antenna,haha!Good luck and happy listening,this is an awesome radio in this price group!

I tried these with one of our customers. .what I found was depending on how loud the car is you can have a little difficulty hearing even through ear buds etc. Also dont use a NASCAR style mic, use a IMSA style mic.They do not like the way the grounding of the NASCAR Style mics.are.Brian Performance 2Way.

Well, weird as it may seem, I am looking for a fan that actually makes a noticeable hum/sound. We use it as a sound conditioner and to drown out external noise when sleeping. Does anyone know of one that would meet that requirement? Ours is about to quit, and it is not the time of year to find one in a retail store. Thank you.

I can't answer your question because I was never aware that such problem existed. I am not the best source for your query because I tune this radio to only three stations: The Jazz, classical and 770 talk radio in New Jersey. It perform well with no problems. In short I never tested the entire band with.

Since I've only listened to FM,I had not listened to any AM stations, but tried a bit since you inquired. I was able to pull in AM stations, but I'm not well versed on AM stations in my area my test wasn't very satisfactory. I did bring in some and they were ok. Hope someone else can respond to this issue better than I've been able to. I do really really like my Sangean PR-D9W radio. I compared and conducted quite a lengthy research marathon before purchasing. Good luck!

Raven, to my understanding the bands are the wireless signals that the audio travels over. If you have too many wireless mics or deceives on one band there can be interference. If you are only running a few mic then you will be fine with band A. However, if you are running tons of mics in a stadium I would find out what bands the other mics are and then buy a band that isn't currently in use in your setup. I have two sets of the 112ps on one band and I don't have any problems.I hope this helps.

I use a Axiom 49 and it works very well. Just remember that these are meant for your ears to be able to pickup anything and everything. good and bad. They have saved me a few times by picking up stuff my headphones missed. Also, these are near field monitors. They're meant for studio use not really for normal listening or performing live. They sound great, but get an amp/p.a. to plug into if you're gonna be performing.

I live 30-40 miles away from Seattle and I get good reception with it mounted inside the attic. Seahawks look AWESOME!!

Sure it would, but then again you wouldn't hear the game either. Better to go with active muffs in that case that have microphones to amplify sounds.

Well - this antenna won't help you at all. For AM reception a "long wire" style antenna is preferred. Simply try and string up as long as piece of wire as you can with the wire parallel to the station you want to pick up. Generally 20-30 feet of speaker type wire "unzipped" to make a single strand...buy 15 feet of wire, unzip it, twist the wires together in the middle and you have a 30' piece. Hook one end to the AM antenna jack on your receiver and try to get the remaining wire up as high and as straight as you can. But don't go nuts...I've run the wire out a window and along the eaves just under the house and its worked great. And you can't beat the price!Good luck! Well - this antenna won't help you at all.

what is the best type of rabbit ear antenna to use?? The picture says weak or no signal, and does this mean the antenna is not picking anything up. Less than a half of a mile from a transmitter site. Don't know why it isn't picking up tv stations when I do auto program.??? Please advise

It's just depends on the station to have it on. In one place you might not get a signal from the radio and another you might. Try and find a station that you hear the least amount of noise preferably one that has none at all.
