Not quite a Pelican - I have one of these:

mainly because it was the only case I could find that was the maximum size
carry-on - every one else - including Pelican (and I am a Pelican dealer)
came up a couple of inches under in one or more dimensions - go figure. I
have the "Deluxe Divider" with adjustable dividers in the bottom and a
pocket folio on the top.

It easily accommodates the K2/100, KAT100, KRC2, Astron SS-18, Headset,
Paddles, MP-1, 30'of coax, Hitachi Traveler sub-notebook computer and more
(though if I am flying, I put the MP1 in checked baggage).

Also have a hard shell golf bag case with self supporting Force 12 Sigma 5
and 40XK verticals, Hy-Gain DP19D for 80 (if I have a place to put it up),
300' of LMR-240U in various length chunks with BNC connectors on either end
and couplings to connect them together if needed, control cable for the
Sigma-5 (controlled by the KRC2), antenna relay to switch from 40 to 80 if
used that passes power on the coax). Used the case/antenna system previously
with an IC746, but now that I have a K2 (3881 built by Nate Lewis - I just
don't have the time ). Next trip for this system is to V26DX for WPX SSB in
March (the antennas will go along as a back-up in case something happens to
the antennas in place there) .
