Roughneck has the Linton 5288 which is a very similar radio (I couldn't find the 5288 on ebay, so got the 6288 instead). He said his has seen many games, some even in the rain, and it's still going strong. However, I'm assuming that it's in a pouch in his rig somewhere and not on his belt and exposed. I'm quite sure that in my radio pouch, it would be fine in the rain.

Pushing the "V/M" button again would bring you back to last channel used in your stored channels, which would be 3.

Cool. Very handy when you're switching between your squad-level and command channel.
