During the winter I live about 200 meters from the Florida Atlantic beach. Usually I have windows open, and although the salty sea breeze is pleasant, it greatly speeds corrosion of metal.

Perhaps a maritime electronics expert could advise me as to whether I should leave my K2 (and other gear) on all the time, or power off when not it use. I can speculate that the slightly increased temperature from leaving it on might prevent some condensation of moisture. On the other hand, I recall from chemistry classes that increased temperature accelerates chemical reactions (like corrosion). Are there any other reasonable precautions I can take?

Thanks
Dick, K0KK
