Recommend a cheap AV receiver for outside

Im looking for a receiver to power speakers on patio. I'd like to connect to TV, bluetooth for music and maybe FM radio. It will stay outside so not looking to spend a lot.

Here is what I have outside. Bluetooth for music. Connected to two outdoor speakers. TV going to the line-in with an additional volume control inline. Works great.

Yamaha RX-V385 for $279 at Best Buy/Amazon. It meets all your requirements above and much more.
You get what you pay for and that includes lower end gear.

I have pretty much the same setup except I have the Fosi BL20C. I have it velcro strapped to the tv mount. I have use the headphone jack on the tv with a 3.5mm to rca cable that plugs into the amp. That way I can control the volume with the roku remote. I have an echo dot outside that's paired to the amp so I can stream music with voice. Cheap and works great. I just installed this stuff 2 weeks ago.

I've had the Yamaha R-S202 with just two speakers on my back patio for several years now. Works great, has plenty of power, has Bluetooth.

That is a good question. I never looked for one with chromecast audio.

There are a few off brand dongles on Amazon that are claiming chromecast audio capable.
