is this radio water proof or not?

Yes 100% water proof. Great radio batteries last a long time cool features too many for me to use.

The model I bought is water resistant. I proved on day after retrieving it out of San Francisco Bay. (btw, it floats too-)

It is definetely water proof. I dropped it once in the water at a heigh of 7 meters and after being about 5 minutes in the water, it was retrieved without any issues.

Yes! It absolutely waterproof and floating as well. I'm very happy and secure with that device on my sea kayak.

Yes and no ..... depends on the make and model. ... but you can find way better radios for this price..... don't really see the need for a waterproof radio in a Honda civic! But it's up to you.

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

I don't know about your need for a radio, but you absolutely don't want this one. it's not waterproof or even splashproof. It completely fills with water - COMPLETELY, after a 10 second immersion under 6" of water.

I don't think its submergible water proof but I sweat in mine when I do yard work and I have had it on while walking in the rain to the store ,I would suggest that you keep it as dry as possible though because with electronics you never know!

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.

The coil is water proof. The rest of the unit is not. There is an optional "bag" that covers the control unit if you need to use it in the rain. The control unit is vented otherwise. -dana

I would not call it all waterproof. The receiver and servos are pretty well sealed but the battery and motor are removable and exposed. There is a splash guard on the motor and the battery connection is splash proof but it would not work for long under water. My kids run it through puddles and mud all day without a problem. Upgraded the battery to a lipo for quicker charging and longer run times.

Hi Dave, This antenna maybe weatherproof but not waterproof. It's designed for indoor use, it just won't last as long outside. Hope this helps.Phil

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.

Actually, I don't know if it's waterproof. I haven't used it in the rain so far. I haven't assumed that it is though, although it could be water resistant.

Yes it appears to be waterproof. Been out in the rain unprotected, still works.

did not test the waterproof issue. My complaint was the FM radio, poor reception and difficult to dial in the station.

No, it not waterproof. Yes it can be used outside, just don't get it wet! I use mine all the time outside!! Yeah, electronics and water don't mix too well.
