[Elecraft] hard case for k2?

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Pelican says the 1510 is the maximum carry-on size (44.8 in h+w+d),
and the 1550 is only 2/3 inch over 45" h+w+d.  They both have
substantially more internal volume than the 1500.

I have extended side panels on my K2's and have carried them wrapped
in clothes in soft baggage(I've even checked them that way).

I'm planning extended side panels for my K3 with Lexan caps for the
front and rear.

     Cheap they aren't but you get what you  pay for.  Check out the
     web site that I posted earlier today.

     Take the radio with you, and look at the 1200, 1400, or 1500,
     depending on what else you want to lug with you.  I use the
     1500 for my camera equipment because it's the maximum size
     that meets the airline "carry-on" dimensions.
