[Elecraft] Carrying case for a K3?

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

That case looks almost identical to the pelican. 1510.  The dimensions 
for the Pelican are 22.00" x 13.81" x 9.00".  The Seahorse is 23.96" x 
16" x 10.01" which is a few inches bigger.  You might want to check with 
your airlines to see if the Seahorse can be carried on.  With everyone 
dragging all their belongings inside the cabin of the planes instead of 
checking bags the airlines have been getting more particular with what 
you bring on.

BTW charging for bags was stupid.  Now the luggage hold is empty and the 
cabin is jammed with stuff.
