I'm not sure of the question but if there is a signal the radio should lock on to the station. I have only used the radio in the city..hope this helps.

If you are looking for a serious AM/FM or AM/FM with weather you should check out ccrane.com, I have a C Craneradio model "CCRadio-EP" it pulls in AM stations up to 20 miles and FM stations 50-100 miles. My dad has a CCrane radio AM/FM/WX/SW that I have used to pull in stations from overseas. Hope, this helps. Good Luck. Roy Crow, Virginia Beach, VA.

I use my radio on a large lake in northern Minnesota. I think it has good sound ad pretty good reception. It's the best portable radio I have found for my use. This is the second one I have had. They take a beating in the boat and I don't think the moisture does them any good but I have been satisfied with my radio.

I hooked mine up in my motorhome so I have a small antenna I use to boost reception...I just use it to get the local channels (no cable/satellite) wherever we camp at, and so far it has performed well at each campsite provided there are available local channels...you just have to scan for open channels which takes a short while, then you're set....

I sit on top of a hill in a hilly area about 10 miles from the transmitter. So I have no experience with being in a valley. My neighborhood has a lot of large old trees. I put the antenna up in the fall on the back side of my house and got good reception. When the leaves came out in the spring the reception deteriorated so I moved it to the front of the house where there were fewer trees in my line of sight to the transmitter and it has worked fine ever since. I give it a top rating.

Yes, I think so--was thinking of getting that one--but the weather radio feature is good to have. Great little radio!

Dylan, if the channels in question are between (roughly) 29.700 MHz and 29.900 MHz - then yes it will. To confirm, do a search on the Internet to see where the weather channels fall in your area. Some may be in the 1.25 meter or 2 meter frequency ranges, while others will be in the HF range (1.8 MHz - 29.9000). I hope this helps!

I have it indoors with the sensor out doors. I am having a problem with the outside reader on the screen. It gives me readings like 11.8 or 12.2 for outside temp and I do not know why. I think that I would not buy the same model again. I have no problem with rain on the sensor.

It defaults to scan the whole area, pretty much scanned the whole middle of my state initially, until I set the specific code for my county. I haven't had the issues that the previous reviewer had with the AC adapter. My weather radio is on all of the time on the AC adapter and only on the batteries when it is unplugged, which is not very often.

Only one of the four bands can be on at one time. If you're on FM then AM, Ham and weather are off, etc. Weather alerts do not break in automatically as they did on some older radios.

I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks. I live 17 miles in a straight line from the local broadcast towers. When it's windy outside, sometimes a station will not come in. Also during rainstorms. You should go to antennaweb.org, where you input your address and they tell you what kind of antenna should work for you. I've found the flat antenna works a little better than a more 3-dimensional one, but your mileage may vary. Amazon's return policy is pretty liberal though. If it doesn't work for you, they'll take it back. Just be gentle with the packaging. I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks.

Mine doesn't work very well and I am planning on trying a different brand/type. If someone recommended an outdoor type of antenna, this may not work as it's an "Indoor" model.

Seems to me then that the reception may bad where you have the second radio. Alert is turned on. the correct alert area setup. Should work

I am more than 25 miles away from a tower, and I live in a heavily wooded area The reception I have gotten has been good. However, it does change if the weather is bad. If it is stormy or windy, reception is greatly affected. Also, as I said in a previous post, my antenna HAD to be on on outside wall. The best reception came when it was at a window. And it did vary from position to position in my home. Some locations did not work well at all even at window locations. I think if you are within 25 miles or so, you probably won't have any problems with this antenna.

works fine, and it has a lock on the station so it can not changed if you are outside.as note some have issues. Our radio has been fine but it boes not have a speaker. I overcome that issue by buying a small radio with speaker to use outside, and have a snap on the strap to hold on to belt looops.

This radio will not stay charged, even with new batteries. The weather channel will give you alerts only if turned on. Not sure about handle, just gave the thing away at a garage sale. Ugh

The NOAA receiver works fine. It can monitor the NOAA channels even when set on 2-way channels, and will make an alert tone indicating a weather alert. For an emergency kit, though, you might want to consider the Midland XT511 Basecamp radio, either instead of or in addition to these small units. The Basecamp has the same 2-way radio channels (only 1 - 22, though), the same NOAA channels, etc., but it also has a built-in flashlight and flashing beacon, and it can be powered by either a Ni-MH rechargeable battery or 4 alkaline batteries (there are separate slots for both), and it comes with both AC and DC battery chargers or it can be recharged with the built-in hand crank generator. It's also an AM/FM radio receiver.

This is a great radio. Not meant to be a dedicated NOAA radio. For the price it is well worth it. I love it for what it is meant to do. All features work as stated in the description..
