simple question

would a rf receiver pick up a signal if i was completely encased in plastic? I am talking about a quarter inch of plastic fused shut to protect to receiver from elements to include immersion in water. Thanks

If the plastic is non-conductive then won’t attenuation an RF signal. But, if there is tuned RF elements on the PCB then it could change the impedance of the circuits.

waltr, thank you fo our response, unfortunatly you are speaking over my head. I would appreciate a yes/no/ or depends answer. Thanks for helping

ordinary plastic won’t affect RF.

thanks
