But, according to Icoms website and other information the M1 and M15 have the same rating.This is really annoying because how else am I supposed to find this information out. To me,something is either waterproof or it isn't. Icom can't go on calling the M1 waterproof if the thing is going to fail with a minor dunking. That is water-resistant, not waterproof. The reason I got a waterproof handheld was so that I wouldn't have to keep it in a dry bag.
