Might it be possible that this condensation was not leakage, but the same sort of fogging that can happen to optical lenses, such as binoculars, when subjected to sudden temperature changes. Cool the radio by immersing it in Lake Superior, then bring it out into the warm sun, and maybe that's what happened? Are waterproof radios filled with dry nitrogen before they're sealed like waterproof binoculars? I don't know. What do you think? BTW, what's the MSRP on an ICOM M15, and what's the typical discounted price? -Bruce *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Sep 03 1998 - 03:09:37 PDT
