I swim 3 to 4 times a week for an hour. I love this little guy! The time passes really fast and the reception is great!!!!!!

The pool I swim in is indoors at a gym and I recieve no signal whatsoever. I ended up buying a device with mp3 capability.

I love my radio and wish I had purchased it sooner. Good reception. Makes my workouts swimming just fly by.PS My pool is outdoors.

The signal underwater is not very different from the one on land. Still the signal on land is not really the best but good enough.

I installed mine inside the counter of an outdoor kitchen. The counter is composed of concrete fiber board & stone veneer with a granite countertop. I get great FM reception but only fair AM reception. I would imagine it would work fine on an aluminum fishing boat if you mainly listen to FM stations.

No, the radio works great and the volume is loud and clear. I can talk to someone 30 miles away while on the water and its loud and clear.

No - the reception isn't that good. I wouldn't rely on it for its FM receiver.

I never could get it to work. I could not even get static. The whole purpose was to get an FM receiver for my mother which would work in the pool as she exercised. This never worked.

Yes it will transmit to your fm radio but the signal is so weak that its hard to find a clear fm frequency to receive it.

Not a problem. I do laps in a saltwater pool, and the sound quality is fine and the device still works.

5 seconds or less emersion will lose connection. Will not work if under water.

I have not used for FM reception but for picking up TV channels and it works just fine, in fact better than a previous model I had.

I wouldn't try it underwater, but otherwise it's all weather :) I would agree to wrap the connection once you have it installed.

Yes, not much of a problem with FM stations, but AM gets blitzed by all the flourescent lighting. Don't forget to pull up the antenna to increase FM reception.

According to my husband, FM reception is fine. Other than just to try it out, we haven't really used it.

Shouldn't be a problem since the transmitter box is fairly tight and should not allow water to get inside to electronics.

Update. It works fairly well on the aircraft band RECEIVE ONLY. I was able to scan the air band and pick up close to a dozen aircraft frequencies in use.It still cannot transmit on aircraft frequencies. And even if it did, it only transmits FM while aircraft transmission is AM, so nobody could understand you even if you did transmit.

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.

In my experience, I haven't been able to listen to real-time radio stations. The radio function works on the QQ, but as soon as I'm under water, even just freestyle swimming, the radio cuts in and out and is fuzzy. Now if you downloaded podcasts and put them on the QQ you wouldn't have a worry in the world. I think water must not be a good conductor of radio waves.
