The only Raytheon I am acquainted with is the Raytheon 102 (previously sold by Raytheon as the Apelco 520). It has a Nicad battery pack which can be bought directly from the company or through dealers. I think the Nicad pack costs in the $100 range. These radios have only been out for a few years (3 yrs?). I don't believe there were any VHF radios meeting the JIS-7 submersibility rating much more back than about 5 years. It is this level that is truly waterproof, i.e. capable of being submersed. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
