NOAA weather radio boost?

[twodeer]

I have a RadioShack weather radio. My location is 52 miles from one tower & 60 from the other. My reception is very poor. Any suggestions on how to boost my reception? Would an external antenna on top of the house help? Is there an in-line power signal booster out there I could hook up? The item is almost useless to me for weather alerts. T'anx for any replies or directions.

Re: NOAA weather radio boost?

Yes, an outdooor scanner antenna will greatly increase your reception. Something else that will give you about 6Db boost is a Preamp,. Both of these should be available at Radio Shack or an amateur Radio store like AES (amateur Radio Supply) Store.
