Narrative:

I was the pilot flying on this leg. On the takeoff roll; there was a lot of static noise coming from our radios. I rotated normally and called for landing gear up. A few seconds later I noticed the stick shaker indicator came into view; and the airspeed low aural warning also sounded. I immediately added full power and lowered the nose and still got the stick shaker. It was then that I noticed that the flaps were not in the 1 position. I told my first officer to return the flaps to position number 1. We recovered from the situation; cleaned up and continued with our flight. Nobody in the cabin noticed what happened. After talking to my first officer; it was obvious that he mistakenly raised the flaps instead of the landing gear when I called for landing gear up. He told me that the static coming from the radios distracted him.
