Thanks for the link, Mike. It'd be nice if the vx2 was water resistant but I
think its not. Its really a completely different radio with far different
features etc. It weighs in at just over 4 ounces including its battery pack.
My wife likes it because its about the size of an ipod and handy for an evening
bag. They sold like hotcakes at our hamfest this past weekend.
