Turning off the squelch is key to finding noise with FM. I have found it
is not blanket white noise, it can be only on certain frequencies. What
you need to do is test every channel, not just 16. Yes it is a PITA.

Hi Jeff,
That is pretty much the recommended test. Her is the US Coast Guard's
version:

Hi Jeff,
I read your post below with interest, and just to test my stern light (in which
I use an Amazon LED bulb) I took my handheld, turned it to 16, and literally
held the antenna up to the lens with the light on. No change in the static was
noticed, nor when I had the squelch set just right
I've had some recent computer issues and lost most of my bookmarks. I'd
saved info on the 3M tape and specific calk recommended for window
replacement; that got lost.
Could someone please re-post the 3M products and any how-to links
available?
TIA
