first want to see if I can pick up / receive a radio signal.

Here is a chart of our US VHF-Low Channels:

This scan, using an RTL-SDR V3 dongle and GitHub RTLSDR Scanner software, shows the channel 3 Pilot Carrier:

For all channel 2 allocations, fill it out like this, and click on Go:

The result should look like this:

If you click on WLBZ and then Technical Data, you should see this:

The RTL-SDR V3 dongle SDR is available here (the V4 doesn't work with the Scanner):

The RTLSDR Scanner software is available here:

I use version 1.3.0

There is a short tutorial by Pete Higgins:
OTA Signal Analyzers, Meters, Aimers, Bench Gear...

It took me 3 training sessions to learn how to use the Scanner software. If you also find it difficult to learn the Scanner software, you can use SDR# (SDRSharp) software instead with the V3 SDR. It will only show a little more than 2 MHz of the 6 MHz TV channel, but that is enough to show the low end of the channel to see the Pilot Carrier and estimate the SNR.
