Uhhh...before you go too far, be sure to read the reviews on this
Weather Radio. It's a mixed bag, especially with comments like: When
left turned on to silently monitor for the alert tones, the speaker
constantly emits static just loud enough to be annoying in an otherwise
quiet room, making bedside use next to impossible. Or: My radio might
be an anomoly, but it is expensive for what I got (and didn't get).

I'm pleased with it. Great performer with no problems, and I do leave
it on all the time in my bedroom and haven't noticed any background
noise. Admittedly, the ergonomics are pretty obnoxious.

To the OP: mine does just fine with the integrated whip; do you know
that you need an external antenna for it?
