Aircraft; Human Factors; Procedure
Immediately after takeoff from ZZZ all communication was disrupted by extreme static which inhibited the ability to transmit or receive any communication by either VHF 1 or VHF 2 radio through headsets; hand mics; or speakers. The static continued throughout the entire flight with brief periods of communication possible for 1-5 minutes. Crew elected to continue normal departure and climb and adhere to our filed route clearance while squawking 7600. Dispatch was notified via ACARS and was requested to coordinate down link ATC communications. During brief periods of open communication we informed ATC of our intentions to fly our filed route; arrival STAR and land on runway XXC at destination ZZZ1. Captain and FO discussed and agreed that the safest course of action was to fly our filed and comply with lost communication procedures and not complicate the current flight plan by returning to departure field or an unplanned alternate. FO flew the aircraft from takeoff to landing and captain handled the communication and ATC coordination issues. Arrival landing; taxi and parking at ZZZ1 were uneventful and flight was completed safely.
Captain reported loss of all VHF communications and elected to continue the flight to destination airport.
