[Elecraft] KX2 water resistant case

[nate t]

I have a "B&W Outdoor cases type 1000" pelican style case that ($30 on amazon) I'm working on building into something like this: http://swling.com/blog/2015/11/scotts-elecraft-kx3-go-box/

I would trust it in the rain, but not out on a river. Plastic seems a bit cheaper than Pelican brand...lacks what I'm assuming is fiberglass reinforcement that the Pelicans have.

Quick google search shows the Pelican 1120 has a good fit for the KX2 by itself - http://radiopreppers.com/images/KX2_1120.jpg 

Amazon has the Pelican 1120 for $25 bucks, with the optional bright colors (yellow,orange,etc) which would be useful if it falls in the drink. Pretty cheap price of peace of mind IMO.
