As an outdoor player for a show, will this this radio handle rain splashes and the cold of winter if top covered like an umbrella ?

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 live in florida ; but, leave it outdoors full time. It is under a porch roof ; but, is exposed to wind and rain all the time. So far, no problems.

hi there! yes i think so. my only concern is that i don't know how the heater will like the rain and snow! i looked for an answer to that, but never got one!

No not really. It covers the speakers and the earphone jacks so rain won't get In but the rubber between the top and bottom is not very good. Does not give a good seal so water will get in.

I think so. It has a very bright display so there should be no problem. I wouldn't expose it to rain though.

It works quite well to keep weather out. It's not waterproof. Just resistant. It will get wet, and if it freezes it will freeze solid. Great cover though! I suggest fully.

Sorry, I have not used it in that situation (Mostly because I don't work well in heavy rain/snow. :) )

The amplifier has a lot of power. I think it would work in non-windy outdoor settings.

Yes, they make a cover. No, rain does not interfere with performance. Cover is used only when it is out of season and you are not taking it down...

john, I have it mounted under a roof overhang so it does not get direct rain. But so far works without any issues.

I can only tell you that the radio does it's weather job, trouble free. You question appears to be of t technical nature which would be better answered by Midland Radio. I suggest you contact them at midlandradio.com. They have a technical department that I' sure can handle you question. Good Luck

depends on where you are I guess. I don't think it would handle heavy storms, but rain and light snow should do fine.

This generator, like most, is not suitable for exposure to rain/snow. I use a BBQ grill cover when not in use, for storage outdoors. There are many creative and inexpensive ways to protect this unit from rain while operating.

I've never tried but it is a solid piece of equipment so as long as there is no rain I would say go for it!

My iPhone 6 is right but I use it to listen to I heart radio when I am riding cross country. Cable connections are tight, but it handled the rain quite well.

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 think the weather radio would work very well because it gives an audible as well as a visual warning. One thing about the radio though is a person needs to be able to read the instructions on programming the radio and then be able to see and read to actually program it. Programming it can be problematic even for a person with normal vision and can be confusing. I hope this helps out a little bit.

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.
