FOXPRO Question

bshefa · December 26, 2011, 05:16 AM

My darling, lovely, awesome wife got me a Foxpro Fury for Christmas. I am very proud of this thing, but have a question about it not addressed in the instructions.

IS this thing waterproof, water resistant or neither?

I was scared to go try it out yesterday as it was raining here. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Happy Holidays!

I emailed Foxpro directly about this. i own a FX5 and a Scorpion. They said it is "weather resistant". I have used mine in the rain and left it outside a tent over night where there was heavy morning dew. In the end, it worked and didnt stop working. I wouldnt pour water down the speakers or inside the mechanisms, nor would i use it in a heavy downpour.

good luck.

Thanks for the imput, kinda what I figured. I will have a real hard time taking this thing out in the rain considering the cost.

they say one one of their youtube videos that if you wish to use in rain put it in a zip lock plastic bag.

i found this to work and the volume isn't really effected

I wrap my foxpro in plastic wrap. You cover the body of the call and the speakers arent affected.
