1.  Reception range varies from location to location.  Also some Weather
    Stations operate at much higher power levels than others; and some
    have their transmitting towers on top of high building or hills.  If
    reception in your area is not too good, check with your local
    RadioShack store to see what are typical reception ranges in your
    area.  Also try different locations in your home or office to find a
    place of good reception.

2.  If the Weather Station cannot be heard, contact your local National
    Weather Service office to verify the station is on the air.  Also
    verify the CHANNEL switch is set to the channel for your area.

3.  All National Weather Service stations periodically transmit an Alert
    test signal.  Some broadcast only once a week and others often.  You
    can always find out when the test signal is broadcast by calling the
    U.S. Weather Bureau's phone number for your local NOAA station.
