Regarding the NOAA radio service, I have found that I can't get a signal in my basement. It works ok upstairs but even then for some reason I can pick up Lincoln, better than Omaha and Im in Omaha. They need to up the power or something. Does anyone know of a weather radio that picks up a good signal in a basement.
Most of them I've seen have a way to hook up an external antenna - why not do that. Antenna upstairs/on the roof, a drop of either twin lead or coax to the radio, and away you go
