				I'm sorry Jack, I quoted what was available on Apelco's Home page...
The reference was to the "501 Plus"  Since they make no mention of a "501."
I dopped off the "plus" for the sake of brevity. <shrug>  

			The 501 Plus is listed at West Marine for about $189 and [according to
Apelco's page] has the <same> "waterproof" spec's that the <510> does.

			Where did you get the information on the 520?  It is not listed on
Apelco's page.

						
					Take care,
