Does it work when wet? I am looking for a waterproof radio to use while tubing.

This was a gift for my brother. He uses it in the old log shed here, and it works great. I do know it works well even after spending a long cold winter in the shed. As for it getting wet, and working, I can't answer that one, as it has never been wet!!! sorry.

While rugged and weather resistant, it isn't waterproof and were it to be immersed in water, it might not function. Note this is a battery radio but it also operates on AC, so it isn't designed to be seriously wet.

It is touted as "rain resistant" NOT rain proof nor water proof. We keep ours on the front porch which is open to blowing rain and no problems. I think if one left it out in a 2 or 3 inches of rain day it could be affected. So No its not waterproof, just water resistant per the manufacturers instructions.

I have mine under an awning, so it gets rained on a little and still works. It's technically outside, but I wouldn't call it waterproof.

Well it's only water resistant not water proof so I would worry it would get too wet. And if the area you're in is quiet you'd be able to hear it but otherwise you may need something louder

It is not waterproof. It's fine if it raining, but water would get in to the battery compartment if submerged.

Not very good in water, because as you go in and out of the water and down the pool not only does the reception change but so does the sound? I do like it for working around the yard? I like my UwaterK7 better, but it takes on water after a year. I have two and they both did the same, so I thought I would try something else and I am disappointed. I may try changing the earphones with the K7 to see if that will help with the reception and the sound. The manual must be for another radio too? But I think I have figured everything out.

Yes, Mine gets wet by waves all the time. I also leave it on my yak in the rain. The fish-finder is in fact waterproof. The battery is fine if it gets wet as long as its not submerged for any extended time. I have accidental submerged the battery under with no adverse effect.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

It's definitely not waterproof(Though I've had the receiver buried in melting snow for about an hour). Range is pretty decent, (I've tested it up to about 70-80 meters). But I'm using it with an RC car.

It works underwater. I am not sure if there is not enough power in the device I use or the headphones are weak, but the sound is not always great. I have had to sandpaper the metal connection to keep it from corroding, and that seems to help with the sound.

Yes, it should work underwater BUT it does not ( at least it didn't for me! ). But yes, it is waterproof as long as it is in the waterproof housing.

I am not an expert on radios, like someone who is trying to sell you a transmitter for a boat, but I would think it would be ok. Of course there is the water issue but I would think you should be able to overcome that problem fairly easily. You might go to the site that specializes in boat transmitters and see what, if anything, makes theirs different. There are so many different way to setup your right and left turns and speed. I wish you good luck with your project. Robert

Yes, there are other waterproof headphones that you can get. I bought the pyle and there was too much static. Maybe spending a little more money on them will help with unit.

This transmitter is not water proof. You would have to cover it or put it in a container. PetSafe has a water proof transmitter, it looks like a rock. I have it and it works great.

I am not sure as I have not had it out in the wet weather yet. It is a fantastic radio.

While it is water proof, or more accurately, shower proof, I do not believe it is intended for submerged use. I doubt its seals are engineered to deal with water pressure. I also doubt its speaker is designed to transfer sound through water.

NO! You can get them a "little" wet i.e. swimming pool splash by accident but drop them in the water and say goodbye. They are great little radios but as they say "you get what you pay for". I believe they make water-proof soft plastic covers for them. Good luck David! Allen K.
