[Elecraft] KX3 case advice

[Jim's Desktop]

An alternative to the Pelican is a pretty decent one offered by Marlin 
P. Jones Associates, a surplus place out of Florida. I use one of their 
larger size ones for the KX3. It has pluckable foam and is a tad bit 
cheaper than the Pelican. No manufacturer's markings on it, but it looks 
like it might be a (probably Chinese) knockoff of one of the Pelican 
style cases.

They have two sizes, 12 X 7.4 X 4.4 inches ( 
http://www.mpja.com/12in-X-74in-X-44in-Waterproof-Case/productinfo/18351%20BX/ 
) in which the KX3 fits nicely along with a 3 amp power supply, 
microphone, some cables/adapters and the Elecraft key paddle for the 
KX3.

I use their smaller one for the PX3 along with it's cables. The smaller 
one is 9.3 X 6.2 X 3.5 inches ( 
http://www.mpja.com/93in-X-62in-X-35in-Waterproof-Case/productinfo/17813%20BX/ 
) with the same pluckable foam.

Both cases are very water resistant if not totally waterproof like 
claimed and they have pressure relief valves on them for shipping via 
aircraft. They also have locking holes for padlocks if needed.

They are quite well made out of molded ABS plastic, O ring sealed and 
very positive latches on the covers.

usual disclamer, no interest in MPJA other than a satisfied customer.
