It's not waterproof, so you always have to keep it in the included plastic case. It works fine. At first I couldn't buy an AA battery adapter, which was a minus, but now one is available. It's kind of big, but the price was definitely right and, like I said, it works. ----- Original Message ----- From: "PeterO" <rebyl_kayak_at_iprimus.com.au> > G'Day, > A number of us in Australia are wondering about a handheld VHF Transceiver > called the "Hummingbird", which we have seen advertised on the web as > available from the US at a pretty good price.
