does it have built-in antenna or is there a place to attach a co-ax cable for an outside antenna?

Attached antenna that you raise and lower. Ours does not "swivel." We have to change the position of the radio to improve reception.

7 1/2 in long, 5 1/4 in high, 2 1/2 in wide.

Does this radio come with everything you need to charge your cell phone, or do I need to buy something extra?

It has an adapter with a post that fits into round hole on radio. On the other end of adapter it's a female USB port that accepts the male USB end of your phone's charging cord. So you will need USB charging cord that comes with your phone. Not sure why they didn't just make a USB plug in built into the radio so you wouldn't have to worry about loosing the adapter. I just throw mine into the AA battery compartment. If you keep your AA batteries in it I would just tape it to side with masking tape so you don't misplace it. Hope this helps someone.

Does radio automatically give alerts?

No. It has the seven preset NOAA frequencies but does not have an alert function.
