[Elecraft] KX1 Carrying Case, WAS: K2 esthetics mod

[Dan Romanchik]

Is such an elaborate carrying case necessary? To carry my 
KX1 around, I use a plastic toolbox I bought on sale at Ace 
for 5 bucks. To cushion the KX1, I set it on some of the 
pink bubble wrap that Elecraft used to package the kit.

This works pretty well, and there's plenty of room in the 
toolbox for tools, a battery pack or small AC supply, the 
antenna, headphones, etc.

73!
