This monitor had so much static no matter what channel it was on. We bought a Fisher Price monitor 4 years ago and absolutely loved it! After getting dropped for the billionth time and being on non-stop for four years, the base unit stopped working and we went for a replacement. This was not even close in quality and performance! When the sound is turned down low enough that the static isn't aggravating, you can't hear the baby. We're returning it as soon as we can find a replacement.
