[Elecraft] Travel Case for K3/s KX3

[Bill Frantz]

As I promised, I would load the soft KX3 case from Rose into my 
soft-sided roller bag and fly it across the country an report 
what happened.

What happened is the left lever on the KXPD3 iambic key was 
broken resulting in ERR KEY on the radio. Backing out the 
adjustment screw restored the key to operational status, but I 
still need to find time to install a replacement part. I did not 
have a problem when I packed the KX3, PX3, SignaLink etc. etc 
all into a Pelican case.

Solutions:

(1) Use a Pelican case, but it adds considerably to the weight.

(2) Remove the key for transport. (The solution I'm using now.)

(3) Some kind of hard cup to protect the key. (3D printing anyone?)
