What kind of Marine radio isn't in a sealed case?

There is sealed..and Sealed (tm)

Few will float, most are inside coated to some degree (but not like

air..er..cabin air humidity..but thats about all. Course..they dont
need much more than that either. They arent made for divers.


Unlike the PRC-77 that had their cases pressure tested with
compressed air while in several feet of water.



The current "water proof" standards are something like 10 feet for 30

You're not likely to make many calls, 10 feet under. The electrical
system could be put out of commission for a long time, as well.
