[R-390] Transit cases

[Bryan Stephens]

Any tips for using the spray foam method? Is it as simple  as filling a couple 
of suitable size plastic bags for the top and bottom  then sandwiching the item 
for shipment? Will standard foam stay soft long enough to acquire the shape of 
the item? Which kind of foam would be  best? Near-term I need to ship an o-scope 
for repair (Tek 465B).

I have never used a transit case and considering shipping weights I would
consider it impractical for most sellers and buyers due to added costs to
ship. I have found the spray foam filled bag packing works best and if you
are careful the equipment is more than well protected from all sides with
about 6 inches of soft but firm packing all around. I have never sent or
received a radio packed this way that ended up damaged. It's lightweight and
they can toss a 390A like a football if they are strong enough and it will
still be fine. 73's, Jerry
