    Baofeng claims the UV-9R Pro is IP67 rated. I put it to the test to see how it *actually* performs.

    No one uses these HT's underwater so the 3 feet submersion test is meaningless.

    Chinese Submariners do!
    But seriously, submersion tests are for oppsies (dropping in a lake/pool) or being used in a rain storm.

    I have a water proof watch I wear doing outside jobs. It gets muddy/grubby. I put it in the sink, under running water and hit it with a tooth brush (the wifes) to clean it. I don't swim or scuba to check out the Titanic.
