Attn: XG3 owners

I'm considering offering a fabric case for the XG3
and it's cables. It would be an open-at-the top item
with two or three fleece-lined pockets loose enough
that the XG3 could be lifted out easily. It would have
a top flap secured with one-inch Velcro, much like my
radio cases, or an over-gown cell phone case.

What do you want to put in the case beyond the
supplied programming cable and a BNC output
cable? There would be room for a spare battery
and a couple of coax adapters, of course.

I think there would be room on the front to embroider
the Elecraft "E" with "XG3" below that.

Do you have any interest in a belt loop on the back?

Would you have an interest in such a case? Cost?
I don't know yet, but "reasonable". (:-))

73!

Hi Rose,

The microphone is an obvious candidate. Also the key paddle unless you
can figure a way to protect it securely while it is still attached to
the radio.

Re: Attn: XG3 owners

I find that I finally have to make a set of short jumpers and adapters
for EACH of my instruments and keep them with THAT instrument and
nowhere else. I would need some place to store a row of adapters,
barrel, bnc to uhf, uhf to N, etc. That's like another compartment.

Re: Attn: XG3 owners

In reply to this post by Rose

My vote: extra battery, space for a DC and programming cables, plus bnc cable and maybe an adapter or two. What would be nice is if the case could have some relief for the power button.
