[Elecraft] Elecraft Dust Covers, Carry Cases, and More

[Robert Naumann]

David,

If you were not transporting the K3 and merely keeping it safe on a shelf or
in a closet, you might want to place it with the handle towards the opening
so you could lift it out of the case somewhat more easily with the handle. 

While transporting it on the shoulder strap, you would want the front panel
facing up so you minimize the chances of smashing the delicate front panel
into something. Also, since the case is not rigid, the shoulder strap will
put pressure on the back and side panels as you carry it with the front
panel facing up - I would not want to put that pressure on any part of the
front panel.

So, when I travel with mine, it's front panel towards the opening - not the
handle.

73,

Bob W5OV

I might point out that there is a picture in the middle of the  
collection showing a K3 inside a case with the front panel forwards -  
as if you might operate with the K3 in the carry case. That is  
obviously something you wouldn't do, due to lack of ventilation. And  
generally I'd expect you'd slide the K3 into the case with the carry  
handle to the top and so it rests on the RHS feet. The K3 is almost  
square, so it can go in the case in either orientation.

These are extremely nice cases and covers. Rose does great work and as  
has been said, is a pleasure to do business with. I'm a very happy  
customer.
