I would be sure and double-check with Icom, or any manufacturer for that matter. I purchased one of Icom's JIS-7 handhelds (I forget which as I am not at home right now but I think the original M1) and it failed. They fixed it, but then claimed that it was not waterproof even though all their advertising and literature stated, and still does I believe, otherwise. The radio now stays in a drybag but it is very annoying to learn this the hard way. Had I been on an extended trip when I discovered this I would have been quite angry. After getting any piece of gear that claims waterproofness, do the bathtub drop test at home and see if it holds up. -Patrick At Tuesday, 29 January 2002, Shawn Baker <shawnkayak_at_yahoo.com> wrote: >The Icom M1-V, I think, is their top-of-the-line.
