My KX3 travel case is a LowePro camera case I 
happened to have for a camera system I sold, the 
Nova 170 AW. My current camera system fits in my 
second Nova 170 AW :-)

The KX3 fits in vertically and perfectly. It also 
holds antenna, paddle, a small brick power supply, 
a 6 A-hr Li-ion battery I have etc.  I've not 
tried to fit the PX3 in this case yet.

Well padded, has a water-proof cover, etc. Fits 
like it was made for the KX3.

73, Phil W7OX
