[Elecraft] PELICAN FOR K3

I have always tried to keep my radio equipment with me as carry-on; this 
keeps the thieves and lost luggage at bay. When I had a 756 Pro, it fit 
nicely in my airline roll aboard and the power supply was right beside 
it. I could still carry the headset and key so I ALWAYS arrived with 
full operating station. Yo Yo antenna and 50 ft of RG8X included. The K3 
is smaller than the 756 series so I will continue with this game plan.
The use of Pelican and/or Halliburton just 'screams' out that something 
valuable is inside and 'steal me'. another reason I never use 
Pelican/Halliburton unless absolutely necessary (Acom 1000) is those 
case(s) arouse the curiosity of customs
I have 2 Pelicans, one for Acom 1000 (tough to load on the employee bus 
if trying to steal) and a cute little Pelican for the K2 plus 
accessories. That one I only use when I put the K2 in storage or when 
transporting by car for local operations.
Hopefully you will never experience theft nor lost baggage.
