Default radio weather cover

Probably not - but Icom marine radios are waterproof by themselves, so
don't need any additional protection. (At boat shows, Icom displays
_working_ radios in a bucket of water, and according to the local rep,
has used the same radios for a couple of years - other makers have
tried this, but no longer do it...)


Let's make that "Icom VHF Radios". One of these days I'm gonna catch Icom
at a boat show with that thing setup. I'm gonna grab the damned M802
"marine radio" off their shelf and put IT in the bucket and see how it
runs.....with the chinzy-assed connectors to the AT140 tuner, too!

What WERE they thinking?!
