Question about scanners

I got a radio scanner from Radio Shack, and it's brand new, and I have no idea how to operate it. While it's nice to get crisp reception on the police and weather bands, it's unforgiving on other channels. As much as I try to tune into a weak signal, it won't let me. It keeps tuning the frequency up until I listen to something with a stronger signal.
I have an ancient analog scanner with a dial, and it lets me tune into every frequency, no matter how bad, but the feedback is bad when I have my computer on.
Is there any way I can make my brand new computerized Radio Shack scanner do what I want it to do? I don't really understand how the buttons work or anything.
