GP68's aren't water proof

Had the NT3 hooked up to my GP68 at claybank II, it rained. Hard.
Fried the radio
This in turn fried a part of the PTT, I'm assuming because it may have been trying to transmit for a long time? I really don't know. Best guess it got so hot it de-soldered and shorted something.
Buy new radio, hook up PTT
Fries the PTT circuit, radio always transmits when PTT hooked up
sell that radio, buy all new cables, test on other radio, works, sold everything.

Case and point, all of this would have been averted if the radio were waterproof lol
