Piece of sh*t Arva transceivers

[Winter]

I got an Arva digital transceiver last year. I was out a couple of weeks ago working on skills, and I had the thing in search mode. I was down near the ground and got it in the snow. A few hours later it had fogged up inside and stopped working. It took it two days to dry out before it would work again. I'm not too psyched to depend on this thing if I'm buried in the white stuff. Has anyone had any similar experiences with other brands or is the Arva just a total piece of shi-ite?

I'm not a big fan of the Arva, but that shouldn't happen. I have never heard of it happening to them before.

Good chance you just got a bunk one with a bad seal or something. For three hundredbucks I'd send it back, or take it back to where you bought it. Try to make water condense in it again first, so they believe you!
