I'm in the process of purchasing a JT1000 radio. I'm curious as to what these rugged radios really have to offer in the ruggedness department. I am an amateur radio operator and am purchasing this because my last handheld was stolen about 2 years ago and I decided I finally wanted to get another one. My stolen handheld was a Yaesu FT-270R. It was IP rated, waterproof, submersible, etc. Is the JT1000 waterproof, submersible? Can it withstand rain/downpours, or snow? Could it be accidentally dropped in a puddle of water or mud and still function properly? Does it have any o-ring seals? Thanks for any feedback!
