Human Factors
Took off from FPR approximately XA:40. Told to watch out for Aircraft Y. Had aircraft in sight. At about 1;000 feet; lost sight of Aircraft Y; he was below me at time of losing visual contact. I was closing on his aircraft. I took evasive action by turning right and climbing to 1;400 feet where I could see sky was clear of aircraft. At this time my radios started to have a lot of static; could not hear anything. We proceeded out of area to ZZZ; landed to see if radios could be fixed by changing headsets. Changing intercom helped a little.
GA pilot reported an airborne conflict during departure from FPR airport after losing sight of another aircraft resulting in evasive action.
