[Elecraft] Pelican Case for K2

[Jim Wiley]

Matt -


Consider also the Samsonite L25 soft-side case.  This is a small version 
of a laptop case, and it fits the K2 perfectly.  There is room for the 
K2,  a Kenwood MC-43 microphone, a Palm-Paddle, a small laptop 12V power 
supply to use as a battery charger, the K2 instruction booklet, power 
cables, a folding headset, some basic antenna materials, and a few other 
bits. 


It has lots of zipper pouches to accommodate loose stuff.  It also has a 
pair of Velcro straps inside the main case that fit snugly over the main 
K2 to keep it in place.  Not bad for about $36 on Amazon.com.  I have 
used one of these cases for some time now.  No damage to the K2 or any 
of it's accessories, ever.


Another advantage - it is about the size of a woman's purse (and it has 
a carry strap), and so far I have successfully convinced airline types 
that it should fit under the same rules that allow women to carry a 
handbag and not have it charged against my baggage or carry-on 
allowance.   This is one time where "non-discrimination" rules work in 
my favor!  <grin>
