[Elecraft] K3-KPA500 Pelican Case

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

The K3 just barely fits in the 1510.  If you take the carrying handle 
off you would get a bit more room.  I was planning on putting my KPA500 
in a separate case that the XYL will unhappily drag with her on the plane!

I see now that United is charging for overhead baggage space with a get 
on the plane first upgrade.  They have gone from one of the best to an 
airline I avoid.

My concern with Roses cases are the protection provided.  People are 
pretty rough with the overhead storage and my legs are too long to put 
anything on the floor and then cringe anytime someone walks by or needs 
to get up to use the bathroom.
