Its a great feature if you take your radio fishing with you like I do. As well as being in the military myself, its always good to kwno ti will work, no matter how deep you fell into the swamp while on patrol.
I don't see why Yaesu is pushing the "Submersible" feature. Let's face it, unless you are camping/hiking, why would you need a HT that you can place under water?
My son threw my Uniden BCD396XT in the toilet once... It ruined it and I had to send it off to be repaired. Perhaps if it was submersible that wouldn't have happened!
I have a VX-7R for 3 years now.
And It's a very good transceiver, especially because i had use it on hiking, on mountains. And at any kind of weather.

es el mejor radio portátil q he tenido!!! lo único q creo q le hace falta es las bandas laterales SSB (usb y lsb) en el RX para ser perfecto!
