I did some water shots for a guy on my syndicate this weekend and stupidly left my receiver around my neck and didn't tuck it inside my chesties.....as I was expertly taking some shots my receiver was totally submerged...🤦‍♂️

Anyway, it appears to be ok, there was definitely water inside it but a couple of days in the airing cupboard look to have dried it out.

The only thing I can't remember is if the receiver beeps when you switch a head on....? When I do so the light comes on to indicate the head is paired but there's no beep.....I thought there was but I can't remember...🤷‍♂️

Everything else appears to be working perfectly.

Someone put me straight please😂👍

Looks like I have got away with it then....lucky I suppose but just shows what top alarms they are that they can take a dunking and still work perfectly....👍👍

No tone on mine when switching on just the click of the switch and lights

If you've got time i would place it in some rice for a couple of days just to make sure all water is out

Cheers lads.

Pretty sure it's all out but not fishing again for another week or so therefore will leave it either in some rice or back in the airing cupboard just to be 100% sure...

Wouldn't salt work for this as they use it for dehumidifiers and things like that?

Salt is most definitely a chemical that should never be allowed near any electrical equipment. It does attract and hold water but it remains damp and chemically attacks all common metals. It can destroy a circuit board in 24 hours. Salt eats gear.

Up in the city the dealers were always spilling coffee and drinks over their dealing boards,
If caught early enough removing the circuit boards washing them under clean fresh water and drying them with a hair drier would often fix them in most cases. Sugary drinks left for a time was not so successful.
