Abstract
A radio receiver having a substantially round housing that does not exceed 7.95 cm in diameter. A front display panel having a somewhat larger perimeter than the housing is mounted to the housing. The housing and the front display panel form a weatherproof unit that meets IP66 standards. A radio receiver and an amplifier are contained within the weatherproof housing, which shields electrical circuits from precipitation and other forms of water intrusion.
Claims12
A radio receiver, comprising:
- a substantially round housing comprising a thermally conductive metal back having thermally conductive peaks and valleys that form an irregular surface, and wherein the thermally conductive metal back forms a heat sink that thermally communicates with electronic circuits contained in the housing;
- a front display panel mounted to the substantially round housing, the front display panel having a perimeter that extends beyond a circumference of the substantially round housing at all points, the front display panel comprising a display for a radio tuner and comprising a plurality of controls for the radio tuner and for an amplifier;
- the radio tuner contained within the substantially round housing;
- an amplifier contained within the substantially round housing, wherein the amplifier receives a signal from the radio tuner;
- the substantially round housing and the display panel forming a weatherproof enclosure for the radio tuner and the amplifier that meets IP 66 standards.
