Subject: RE: [Elecraft] hard case for k2?
Oliver,
Here is a link to the pelican case I bought for my K2:
http://www.boss-safety.com/shop/medium-cases-1510-series-c-532_480_499_506.html?gclid=CPL80se76o8CFRQyZAodlDV3Kg
This was one of the lower prices I found for this case. I bought it because
it is airline friendly and with the "Lid Organizer" I was able to get a
whole lot of stuff in there. I also made the KBT2 charging mod on Don
Wilhelm's site:
http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com for using the A & A Engineering
Smart Charger to my K2. I am able to pack my K2, Smart Charger, HexKey, W1,
Headphones, Palm Paddle, and all kinds of support stuff (wire, connectors,
BL2, DL1, meter etc.).
I also bought an extra set of foam in case (no pun intended) that I would
like to put my (future) K3 in there!
Don is right - the K2 doesn't need to be "soft" handled, but I feel a lot
better in making sure that it is protected in any travel situation I can
think I would be involved in. I did pack mine as Don stated and if I get
time after the holiday, I will post some pictures on my website of what it
looks like.
Good luck and 73,
Dave W8FGU
