I recently bought a Standard HX 471s, which uses a (supplied) drop-in cradle
to recharge.  I roll every time I go out at least once, and so far, so good.

> The AC socket is another story since that is the only way to recharge the
unit.  Well, actually, the small round contacts on the back of the radio
make it possible to recharge with a drop-in charger.  It is not included
with the radio but a couple of people got one by buying a related model (the
470 I think) and it works fine.   So it's possible to plug both points of
water entry.  Some dialectic grease on the rubber plug helps seal the port
so you might try that as well.
