[Elecraft] [KX1] KX1 Hard Case--Walking Tall Final Chapter

[Jay Sissom]

I have the Pelican 1060 case for my KX1.  The radio fits along with a palm
paddle and a few extras (#26 guage wire for antenna/counterpoise, laminated
instruction card and wire for the paddle).

Here is info on the Palm Paddle:

The only thing that doesn't fit that I usually use is the Buddipole A123
battery (4S1P):
