[Paddlewise] HX 150S vs. HX 350S Response from manufacturer

I received the following response regarding the relative waterproofness of 
the radios.  I think their quick and concise response speaks well for their 
commitment to customer service.

Thank you for contacting Standard Horizon Marine Electronics. We appreciate
the opportunity to be of assistance to you.
The HX350S is our newest handheld VHF.  Our website is under construction
and unfortunatley our new equipment is not listed on there.  The HX150S can
withstand rain and spray.  The HX350S is designed to be submersible up to 3
feet for 30 minutes.  Thsi is the perfect radio for KAYAKERS or anyone that
is going to get their equipment wet.
If you have further questions or require assistance of any kind please do
not hesitate to e-mail us again or if it is more convenient feel free to
contact one of our Product Support Technicians at (800) 767-2450.
