[Elecraft] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

[Rod Hardman]

I found a very nice, light but rugged pouch on Amazon that has some nice features, including spots for a couple of Packtenna minis and accessories.
It’s not overly padded but rather intended to slip into your main rucksack and not dig into you like a pelican.

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?
