I listen to am talk radio while mowing. Is there a lot of interference from overhead power lines?

No, these are the best I have ever used. Absolutely great. Worth the extra money

Can't answer that, I use mine at an airport......no overhead power lines!! I do know that the tuner doesn't stay on frequency very well though so it could be that it what you are experiencing.

Not from normal house lines but I ran under the high powered ones and it did fade out some. These are well made and worth it..

I have some hi tension lines near my house and have no interference on the AM band. The local lines are underground, so I'm not sure about interference. I can test them down the street tomorrow.

The reception is great for me. My office is in the middle of a concrete building with large HVAC equipment on the roof above me and I have no trouble picking up my local public radio station. I just adjust the antenna every now then if things get wonky.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

The one good thing about this radio, is its reception. I live just outside a metropolitan area and have had no problems AM or FM.

In my opinion, if the tractor is running, ignition noise may interfere with the unit's reception.A horse-drawn tractor...no problem.

I live in the country as well I have my antenna 15' high. Also have a booster that has an fm trap on it. It supposedly keep the radio signals from interfering. They are not expensive and made a big difference in my case anyway.

I assume you mean electromagnetic interference. I have read about this from cheap electronic ballasts but this one is awesome. I have had in no way any interference from this ballast. Radio, Internet, air television is all fine.

Hello D. Deen. I work in a older 3 story building, approx 90 plus years old, made of brick and cinder block. I get good reception on the second floor. The FM is strong regardless where the radio is. The AM works better by a window and away from electronics like computers. All said I am very happy with this radio.

I have not seen any interference on my other equipment. I have used my radio, computer and tv w/remote.

Nope - even if you got one itll interfere with am reception. I recommend the tecsun pl-380 over this unit. These units are best powered by batteries and the tecsun is the better radio.

I've found out that because it's not grounded you can't modify it, get a groundable antenna that you can tune accordingly. Big distance!

No they do not well when mowing the lawn. You can hear the music, but the sound of the mower is much louder.

The Speaker works well in most noise conditions. It is possible if the street noise is loud enough you might have a slight Problem hearing it clearly. So unless there is a lawn mower going close by you should be fine.

I have experienced the same interference problem with chargers. I often listen to distant radio stations and everything interferes with this music. I just tested my Bosch jobsite deluxe and it had no interference while charging internally or the other chargers next to the radio and it was fine. That was a first. Must be perfect climatic experience. My Bose acoustic radio will inform me if my charger is running in the house. Answer to question is yes chargers are working hard and causing interference.

No static or interference if you can find a spot on the radio dial that isn't in use by a broadcast station.Occasional slight interference as you drive through strong signals. Overall not a problem where I live.

Yes, if it's a bad station. I finally found a good one for my area, 88.1 FM. No more static.
