The baggage handlers unloading my EasyJet flight to Nice in August managed
to fracture the welds in a steel framed suitcase and broke the antenna that
was in there just from the impact. (I don't know if it's the French or if
they reserve special treatment for EasyJet.) If a K3 had been in that case I
think it would have ended up in several pieces. I can't envisage a case that
would protect a radio from that kind of treatment.
