Hard Case for K3
Locked
 
|
Does anyone have a good source for a case that will hold a K3. Would like to have a hard case to use when transporting a K3 to FI and other portable locations.

A lot of people have used various Pelican Cases which apparently give good protection at a moderate price. I elected to buy an aluminum case from Home Depot which they have for about $20. This case has ample room and is adequate for Field Day and such, but airline travelers might prefer the better protection of the Pelican. One wife of one of the members makes some cloth covers and dust covers which a lot of K3 owners like and I think they can be customized to your liking, but probably are not the best for rough handling. Some may prefer to double protect with the cloth cover and an outer Pelican Case for more severe handling problems.

I use an old projector case, from an early generation computer projector. In my case, it didn't cost me anything, and I can go purchase my own foam and cut it to suit my needs.

You might also explore what the music stores sell for transporting
musical gear such as mixers and other sound processing gear, and see what might be adapted for your use. Musicians have been hauling sensitive gear around for decades. Look for heavy duty road cases. Good luck. --------------------------- K8JHR ------------------- On 6/9/2014 3:50 PM, WILLIS COOKE via Elecraft wrote: > A lot of people have used various Pelican Cases which apparently give good protection at a moderate price. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Pelican case. Pick the case size depending on what else you want to
carry in it. Cut the sponge insert to fit the radio. 73 charlie, k1xx/vp2mll/pj4x/hk1 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Dick,
Though I have not bought one, someone else posted here that they use a Nanuk 940 case to hold a K3 and a P3. I made a note of it because it looked like a pretty good case to my eyes. YMMV. 73, Hoop K9QJS On Jun 9, 2014, at 11:16 , Dick <[hidden email]> wrote: Does anyone have a good source for a case that will hold a K3.

Dick, I'm using the DX-Pedition Bag from Rose Kopp.
You can take the Bag with K3 and some other stuff as a Cabin Luggage! Every year I'm going to activate EU031 and this Bag with the K3 is with me on the Plain and also on some Ferry's. Here are some more on Information on this Bag: http://www.w0yk.com/k3_foam_protectors.htm 73!
