subject: [Paddlewise] Motorola TalkAbout Distance waterproof bags...

I have a pair of TalkAbout Distance radios, and am looking
for a waterproof bag for them. I don't plan on using them
while kayaking, but may on shore in wet conditions.

I do plan on going crabbing in a couple of weeks from a motorized
boat, and intend to communicate with my wife who plans to
stay on shore with our wee one. In those conditions the 
radio has to be in a water proof bag. 

I bought a waterproof bag made by Motorola, but can't help
but think that there is a better design out there.

Thanks,
	Brian.

        I do use mine on open water.  On places like the Delaware River,
they're usually in the open.  If I am concerned, the next step is a ziploc
bag -- the kind with the sliding zipper.  Next step up is a SEE-thru bag
which I always use for the GPS anyway.
        The FR-50 I have says it's waterresistant except of course for the
battery compartment.  In the light of recent discussions, I no longer know
what that means.
