Now there is an interesting idea! Can you share a photo? Staying operational in the rain seems to me like important preparation. Here, rain often also equals lightning in which case the answer is NO BE THERE. However, it is common to find myself in the clouds and have it be raining without lightning. I have two approaches to rain… appraoch number one; I bought one hundred clear plastic showercaps for under a dollar. Elasticized around the p’erimeter, tiny and weightless in the pack, I always carry one. It can pop over the “set-up,” I can still reach inside to write, log, and key. It is perfect for using the KX2 in the rain. I also use plasticized paper for logging which, with the mini-space-pen which writes upsdie down under water on butter, just keeps on going. My OTHER set up for rain, is a completely waterproof set-up that I have tested standing in the shower. It uses the touch paddle, and it uses sealed jacks. Radio is inside and not accessible to adjust, however. Waterproof paper is held to the outside with magnets. The radio in this “case” is the venerable ATS4, in photo below. Green is the 250 mAH battery inside, two red things are the inside of the touch paddles not quite visible outside, there is a red colored space-pen which is tethered so i can’t drop it, log paper which is waterproof goes on top held in place by a magnet. Antenna plugs in at the upper left, not visible, audio jack is sealed, waterproof, not visible to the lower left. - Fred kt5x (aka WS0TA)
