Emergency/Weather Radio

[Heidi Ho]

Hi all,
I'm in the market for an emergency / weather radio and I'm having trouble finding one that checks all my boxes. The Midland brand scores high in all areas except none of them appear to be water resistant.

My biggest boxes are it has to have a digital tuner, has to have multiple sources of power, and is water resistant.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Nothing better than a month later. Midland is a great company, I have a few of their products. As with anything, prices and quality will vary and it depends on your personal preference. Most will work fine under most average circumstances, if you are truly worried about waterproofing or water resistant just store in a dry bag and use when in a safe dry place.

Hey, @VikingDiver thanks. I ended up getting one that was not a Midland but seems to have what I wanted. A bonus is that it included a water resistant bag so I can also keep the charging cord and instructions with it in the bag. I don't anticipate needing to use it in the rain but at this rate, you never know.
