I JUST BROWSED SOME Of the radio archives

I noticed there was discussion of the icom IC-M1
Someone was annoyed that Icom's US website inappropriately claim submersiblity but verbally don't support this. That person's M1 had been water damged I believe. 

well icom's us website still claims submersibility BUT their australian website explicitly does not claim this for the M1 and warns that the M1 is not waterproof!!!!

How about that?

I'm thinking of getting a VHF in the next little while.

ANy new views out there. To generalise the Apelco 520 seemed popular. Any experieince wiht the Uniden HH VHFs?


thought this might be of interest.
