[Elecraft] Pelican cases - for K1

[David Cutter]

Some of these protective cases are exceedingly good but the plastic versions 
have hinges and lip around periphery that extend the size considerably. 
Although they are made of structural foam, they add quite a bit to the 
weight of a basic K2, even the K2/100.  I use a large sandwich/food box and 
tuck headphones, key, antenna bits, tools and a little bubble wrap around to 
fill it out.  This then can be carried in a small, lightweight hold-all bag 
surrounded by clothes, food, bottled water or whatever the need for the 
portable operation.  You can waste a lot of volume with cut-out foam padding 
inside these cases.  It looks nice and tidy and everything has its place 
which is good for, say emergency exercises but is not space-efficient.
