You're wasting your
money on this. You won't get anything on it in the
Bahamas, well maybe in
Bimini you'll be ok. Get a SW radio with
SSB, that's all you need and you'll get all the
weather you want. Last couple of years I've used a Sony ICF-SW7600GR. I get weather with this and the
reception is as good as what my friends get with their
SSB rigs. Before that I had an earlier model Sony, around 1990 but it gave up the ghost a couple of years ago. I forget what I paid for the latest Sony but a search on the web will get you the best
price. I think I got mine from Amazon. If you have a good
vhf you can sometimes get NOAA just south of Norman Cay but the SW receiver is your best bet. Just checked Amazon, $147, free
shipping.
