G'Day Steve,

Thanks for the information on your usage - its some reassurance to know your
VHF has survived 3 years and the conditions of usage seems similar to mine.

When you use the dry bag do you have to take the VHF out of the bag or is it
transparent and flexible enough to let you operate the switches through the
fabric? Also could you give some more detail on the drawstring and fixing
method?

All the best, PeterO
