I use the Bail Out Bag 5 from http://countycomm.com/BAILOUTBAGGEN5.htm

It is $40 and comes in black (which I have) and green (which they don't 
have).

The side pocket holds a soft plastic soap dish into which I can fit a 
Palm Paddle.  The lower horizontal zippered pocket is good for DC 
cables.  The front pockets are good for mics.  The fat side pocket holds 
logbooks and pens and would probably also fit a Gamma HPS1a power 
supply.   It also has pockets good for 9V batteries, flashlights, 
headphones, etc.

The K2 and a folding solar panel fits inside.  A hard cover for the 
front of the K2 would be a nice option, just as it would be for the 
other Elecraft rigs.

The K3 does not fit.
