[Icom] Carrying Cases for the ICOM 746 PRO and the 910H

[Gary R.]

The Pelican 1600 is $117.40 with P & P foam. Again, only 3 or 4 times what your
estimated you spent on your homebrew case. Thanks in part to the internet this
is now a world market and prices have gotten more competitive, i.e., gone down
as a result.
