[Elecraft] [KX3] Weather protection for a KX3

[Dennis Griffin]

The tablet sized E Series 20 case seen at the url below should do nicely for weather protection, w/o adding any appreciable bulk or weight. The KX3 could be operated while being protected by placing your hand, and operating cables, through the partially open end. There are other cases like this, and some can be seen if you have a local REI, in the water sport area. Taking a minimalist approach, even a large Ziploc freezer bag could be helpful.
