[Elecraft] [KX3] Hard Cases and Covers Debuting in Dayton

[Dave Van Wallaghen]

All,

I have pretty much finalized the design of my custom hard cases and 
covers for the KX3 and I will be debuting them in the Elecraft booth in 
Dayton on Friday. I have also updated my website with some nice photos 
of the prototypes made by Ron, AC7AC (thank you very much Ron).

I do have pricing info for the Covers, but I have not completed the 
pricing for the hard cases yet. I'm actually switching to a local 
plastics provider here to provide the P-95 matte black acrylic I use for 
these cases. And it looks like I might be able to get a better price 
going in on some quantities with a local sign company in my area.

I will also be offering as options for the hard cases, carrying straps 
and vinyl lettering. I will have various size straps with me in the 
booth and hoping to get input as to what lengths would be desired. I 
have machined a small plastic bracket to hold a plastic D-ring. Two of 
the D-rings are mounted on the end panel of the case. The straps have an 
adjustable glide and hooks for the D-Rings. Also, working with a local 
sign company, I will be able to offer vinyl lettering to be applied to 
the cases. I'll be able to offer everything from the product name i.e 
Elecraft KX3 to your call letters and or your name etc., in a handful of 
sizes and colors. I should have solid pricing on these items very soon.

Here are the links to my website.

I will try to keep up with my email via my phone, so if there are any 
questions, comments or concerns, please drop me a note.

The covers and cases should be available by the first of June. I will 
have some covers with me in Dayton and demo units for the hard cases. 
So, please stop by and say hi and take a look. Hope to see many of you 
there.

73,
