I took a look at your iRV RV Stereo # 292-101809, and the reason you're getting static, is due to an issue with your antenna.

What you can do is visibly check your antenna to see if it's broken. or not fully extended. You'll also want to verify that your antenna is properly grounded at it's mounting location. All of these factors can attribute to your radio picking up static.

If your antenna still fails to function after the above troubleshooting, then your next course of action is to replace the antenna.
