I purchased my FT270r from Ham Radio Outlet (hamradio.com) in early February.
I bought it, think I was buying an absolutely bulletproof radio, that was water impregnable.
Well, I guess I was wrong.
I checked and tighted all the connections, and made sure the battery was clipped in tight. Dunk test, less than 1 foot of water for under a minute. Took it out, shook it off..aanndd I saw that water had seeped behind the screen.
It began to malfunction. Response is veerry slow. Also has completely lost both transmit and receive.
I am not a happy man.
