Simple and robust FM radio for plant/forestry machines

Melodeon

Does anyone know if anyone makes a simple and robust plain old fashioned FM radio?

I'm looking to fit some sort of basic ICE into diggers and forestry machines, which leads to a few specific requirements:
Small, for fitting into awkward places.
Aux out/headphone socket would be great if possible, for when machines are being operated with the doors & windows open or off and the operator is wearing hearing protection.
No need for DAB or CD.
Aux in/USB port/Bluetooth of no great interest, but might be useful sometime.

Multi-voltage (12v/24v) would be very cool!

Some sort of internal antenna is pretty much essential too, external things just get broken off.
Anyone know if these things are any use?
The small price makes me suspicious.

Now there's a thought, it hadn't occurred to me to look at marine stuff.

On some machinery you can be stuck for space behind the radio, Esperia do a range of radios especially for track machines etc. waterproof, shock proof etc. No headphone socket, but some have bluetooth, aux in, USB etc.


Some JDM radios (without tape or CD) that you'd see coming in on 90s cars have the shallow size too, but you'd need a band expander to pick up Irish frequencies. some may have a line out for headphone.
We had one on an import Corolla.

if there's a cut off switch installed in the machines and you don't fancy retuning the radio everyday then a marine radio is your best bet

If it needs to be shallow, Sony also sell one without a CD player that has a shallow chassis.

I think halfords also sell a jvc unit that's really shallow because it doesn't have any CD player. I think they do pioneer ones similar.

Something like this
