[Elecraft] [KX3] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

[Brad J. Butler]

Rich,

 

I happen to like the Lowe Pro small case (CS40) that they offer from Elecraft.  I do quite a bit of SOTA and travel with my KX2, and I’ve found that it does very well.  It holds a power cord, USB cord, extra KX2 internal battery, paddle, microphone, and an extra antenna adapter (and the radio!).  It’s kinda fat when filled up, but works like a champ.  I take that case and slide it into my backpack and I’m off and running.  

 

I’m a huge Pelican case fan (my wife informed me of this “condition”), but I still like the Lowe Pro case for the KX2 (mine also has the SideKX panels and cover that you’re talking about).  

 

If you want ideas on Pelican cases, let me know…I have a case for just the KXPA100 and a case that holds a KX3, PX3, and KXPA100…I can give you those details/pictures if you need them.

I've seen a few neat ideas on how to carry/use a KX2 in the field.

I just picked up a very nice KX2 (Thanks WB5XX) that I plan on using for 
SOTA op's.  It came with the SideKX end panels and the protective 
plastic cover.

I was on a SOTA trip with WG0AT last September and he had a very nice 
tin that the KX2 fit in.  It wasn't much bigger than the KX2. I've also 
run across the nice pelican case style setups.  While the pelican case 
will definitely protect the KX2 it seems like a bulky solution while hiking..

When I activated a couple SOTA"s last summer I took my KX3 with the side 
panels/cover.  I just wrapped it with a towel and stuck it in my back 
pack.  While it worked I didn't think it was the best solution.

What are others doing?
