[Elecraft] New Product Announcement

[Howard Hoyt]

Hi Chris,

I bought the LowePro CS60 bag from Elecraft, and with the Kx22 and GEMS 
handle and cover on it, the KX2 fits fine in the bag.  It is true that 
the handles and cover stick up 1/2" farther than the knobs, but as you 
point out, with the cover the knobs and display are protected, and the 
CS60 bag still zips shut without any fuss. It is just my personal 
preference, but given the LowePro bag is soft-sided and offers little 
impact protection, I strongly prefer to have the GEMS cover in place 
when traveling with the $800 KX2, it is inexpensive protection for sure!

All this being said, if we get enough requests for a heatsink without 
the handles I am sure we can do it.

Cheers & 73,

> Howie are you guys gonna make one without the protective handles?  Just wonderin.. its gonna be hard to stuff it into the stock bag,  heatsink may fit but definitely not the handles.  I am sure they are great for added knob protection just unfortunately at the expense of the travel footprint.  not a gripe.. just a friendly observation.
