My Stylus lost its LCD screen while flying in the
rain. The radio worked but I couldn't see
the settings for changing models, or saving the settings
before sending it for service.
I sent it back to Airtronics, where they found other
parts showing corrosion from previous in-rain encounters.
This was the first transmitter that really failed due
to rain, but then, most of the others didn't have
LCD displays.
