Radios that are stored in unfavorable conditions, and radios which are not
powered up and used are prone to small amounts of moisture accumulation. This
is one cause of connector oxidation and poor contact. Also this contributes
to failure of the ceramic filters used in many radios. As to any liquid
accumulation, I find this to be unusual. Typical of condensation is equipment
being moved from temperature extremes. Not good.
