Is this radio water proof/resistant? Thanks

Its water resistant. You will be fine in rain or even splashes from a hose, anything past that though you will start to have problems

No not waterproof...for water rescue I keep it in a clear drybag for radios

Not sure if its water proof but it has been tough and done well in the rain.

I've used this on my bike in light rain conditions and everything inside, including my phone, stayed dry. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would say this is water "resistant," just not water "proof."

Yes, Unit is water proof! I have one on my trolling unit up from and another mounted on my console, in all types of weather - haven't had any problems!

Yes; It is weather resistiant, it is like most universal boor bell alarms it is not 100 % water proof. I built a little box made out of PVC board for the back top and bottom and sides overhanging over the top of the remote control. It has been working fine.

No, this model is water resistant, I think that you are looking for a waterproof product.

They dont claim it to be waterproof but water resistant. Yeah it is pretty resistant against water. Doesnt distort sound. I sure wouldnt submurge it though.

I would say its very water resistant not waterproof. I have it mounted under my back bumper for camping. Its been there a year and works fine. The inside of the unit shows little sign of corrosion. The spring lid snaps shut and holds tight.

Is not made to sit out in the pouring rain, but I have had it in little rain and very moist areas. I really think for 20$ you wont find a better radio, I use my a lot and Its holding up just fine.

No it is not waterproof. I did ruin my first receiver by reversing the polarity ... So be careful with the + -

I believe the radio can handle the occasional rain drop splash with no problem. It's nicely made and has a tight cabinet. The only weakness would be the speaker itself which is only a paper cone. My real concern for your application is volume. I really like the unit but outdoor in an open area, it doesn't get very loud.

I do not see where it says "waterproof" it is water resistant however. I hope this helps.

I dont think that the speaker is water proofThe end of the radio is open to the rain.

Mine is very waterproof, as I swim with mine. Reception is not fabulous but could get quite a few stations.

I think it could handle some minor splashes, but it is not water proof by any means. I've had it down by the pond and on the back deck, but it was not raining. The door that holds your mp3 player is not water tight at all. I have a 7th gen Nano that fits in there nicely and would keep sand off of it. The FM radio gets surprisingly good reception. The only real drawback is that it needs to have louder volume. BTW, I love the DeWalt blue tooth device for use with the radio. That way I can keep my Droid, or iPod, on me to control what's playing.

I don't believe it was designed to be water resistant but I believe it can be. Since it is a remote, it requires power (battery) so it will have to be replaced at some time. A thin bead of silicon sealant around the button and a small amount around remote should make it pretty water resistant. Since water runs down, seal it best at the top. I think that should keep it dry for some time.

Hi Thomas,It is not water resistant, so better not to use it outdoor. but it is sensor detection. it's a nice one.
