Recently attended a NASCAR race. Instead of using the dedicated race radios that are expensive, I used my baufeng to listen in to the race broadcast.

I had my radio tuned to the exact broadcast frequency and was getting a ton of static and the broadcast was not very clear. Even after adjusting the frequency slightly, it was still almost indiscernible from all the static.

Is this an antenna issue or something else entirely?
