On  a slightly related note, a ham friend of mine was at a hamfest once with
his HT (handie-talkie for non-hams) clipped on his belt.  He entered the 
KYBO/Kibo just as he started to sit down his HT came off his belt and in it
went.  Not wanting to leave his $300 HT in there he fished it out (blech!),
wiped it off with some toilet paper and left to find some fresh water.  He
figured the HT was already ruined so rinsing it off under water certainly
wouldn't do any more harm.  Surprisingly, the HT worked just fine after he
cleaned and dried it off.  To this day it has the slight odor of disinfectant
from its dip, but no other smell.  Nor has it ever given him any trouble.
Guess it knows what will happen to it if it starts malfunctioning. :-)
