When I am using the device, I hear too much static noise in the background.
The reason for this is the inherent issue with most walkie-talkies having the absence of or inadequate squelch. What Squelch is, is a circuit thats function is to suppress the audio output of a receiver, when there is an absence of a sufficiently strong input signal. What this means is, it prevents static and distant signals to be heard and only close auditable signals to be heard. Hope this helps.
