Could be a number of things going on. Those are old radios and who knows what's happened over the years.
I'd suggest trying the NOAA weather radio channels and see if that works:
162.400
162.425
162.450
162.475
162.500
162.525
162.550
Make sure the antenna is connected and fully extended. You may also want to take it outside in case building construction or interference is causing the issue.

It's been a long time since I used one of those, but I believe so.
i do that and nothing happens
Just pulled my Bearcat 210 out of the closet and entered 162.4 and E. I'm listening to NOAA right now.

I had one of those and when it heated up the circuit board warped.
I had to re-seat the chip on the circuit board for it to work again. Try that.
No huge loss if it doesn't work. It's old!

Did you test both antenna connections: the external RCA connector or the whip antenna input on the main board?
How would I do that

A piece of metal like part of a coathanger. Really anything that can make a connection.
could I use a screwdriver

if set too high, you get nothing anyway.

You could use a screwdriver. Really anything metal should work. Then try the local Weather Service frequency
Does it have an antenna?
Yes
