I also have a Radio Shack weather radio of similar price/description and found two limitations with it; 1) it only picks up three NOAA stations and 2) its range is somewhat limited. Not much can be done about 1) but I suppose 2) might be addressed with clipping on some sort of secondary "antenna" - maybe a couple feet of antenna wire or ?? I seem to recall a thread discussing "range improvers" for VHF radios a while back.
