Default WTB: Weatherproof DualBand HT

Ugh, spent monday on a SAR event, soaked the ft-50, and now it's not
wanting to work for me. Repair issues aside, it has served me well, and I'm
looking for a weather proof replacement.
VX-6R looks like the one, thought I'd throw it out here before hitting the
web and making a purchase. Besides the yaesu/vertex line, any other
manufactures making a decent dualband (weather resistance included?)
I didnt submerse the ft-50...but it got just as wet, bushwhacking through
freshly rained upon weeds 5 feet tall and better.
Well, I'll check back here, and the email, now it's off to the web to look
for myself.

Thanks

John
