[Elecraft] K3 + P3 Combo Pelican / Hard Case

[Dave Van Wallaghen]

Hi Alan,

I used a Pelican 1610. I think I paid about $170 about 4 or 5 years ago. 
It holds the K3 and P3 side by side with a good amount of padding all 
around. There was enough room behind the P3 to put a small Gamma 
Research PS in there also.

I bought the lid option to store a whole bunch of "stuff" (connectors, 
wire, cabling etc.) and a couple of manuals. There is also a layer of 
foam that sits on top of the K3 and P3 that I made cut outs for a number 
of tools and a meter.

Hope this helps.

73,
Dave W8FGU
