Is the radio water and dust resistant?

The manufacturer specifications do not specify that it is either water or dust resistant.

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.

I am not sure if the unit is waterproof, I am guessing it has some water resistance built in but I am guessing if it was they would say it on the packaging.

The radio FM reception is very good. This is the third waterproof radio I have had and it is by far the best.

It is hard to know because each radio is at the opposite end of the shower head. It does get moisture on it. We have had a sony shower radio for the last three years and it is still working fine.

No sir. We purchased this certain model - for my husband - and it has turned out to be very good at keeping out the noise, BUT when it comes to using the radio - it fades out / completely at times, quite a bit. Thus, he has an expensive pair of outside noise blockers.

No. What helps for me was the ram belt clip mount. Make sure u develops something to keep the radio dry if it rains. It will no work if it gets wet.

its rated at 1 meter ( 3.28 feet ) for 30 minutes, most watertight radios can withstand 1 atmosphere, approximately 32 feet for a short period of time and yes it does float, gave it a float test and it passed

I do not believe it is water resistant, nor dust proof. There is no clip just a spot to clip on to it on the outer cover that comes with it (however I would not hang it from that) It's seems well built but I would not recommend dropping it. 30' distance for blue tooth, and easily fills a hotel room with clear sound and decent bass. battery last all day with EDM music playing at a good volume (heavy Bass) Hope that helps.

It appears to be water resistant bc the camera and speaker on back are exposed. I love the case but it was messing with my reception inside metal builds. Would sometime have no service at all to call or receive calls.

No. you have to buy everything. ESC, Servo, Receiver, Radio, Lights, Battery.I recommend the servo and speed to be waterproof.

I would say yes to shock proof and dust proof. I've dropped mine several times and haven't had a problem. It's 2 cases in 1. Not sure about water resistant haven't had mine near water.

Hi Dorisnewman, Sony ICFS79W Portable Radio is water resistant and is not meant to be immersed in or come into continuous contact with water . -Vincent

Advertising says it is: "Weather, dust and impact resistant". Mine has been in heavy rains before without a problem. I wouldn't take it swimming. :)

Waterproof might be a stretch, I would say water resistant or splash proof. Its a great radio for us as a backup on our large sailboat. Probably not a good choice on a kayak or jet ski.

The outer shell of the antenna is plastic. The only part that moisture would hurt is the junction of the antenna and the coaxial cable. If you can keep that dry, you should be okay.

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