I live on the water, St. Pete Beach, Fl. Besides amateur radio, I am a Fishing Guide and a Raymarine Beta Field Tester. Any electronics not specifically made for the marine environment and All electrical connections on the boat, I spray all down with Corrosion X www.corrosionx.com
One of their advertisements is to take a marine radio which was subjected to salt water with the case off .....now not working. Then, submerge in a bucket of corrosion x over night then power on while still submerged in corrosion x ... Now working. You could lightly spray the interior of the K3 before going on the DX expedition .
