K-line carrying cases

I am interested in purchasing a packing case for my K-Line, or at least
the KPA500+KAT500 that can be checked in as airline baggage. I prefer a
Pelican or GemStar case.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know off net.

Re: K-line carrying cases

Speaking of cases, has anyone heard from Rose? I left a request for a
cover with her at Sea-Pac, and have called three times since, nothing at
all head back from her. Is she OK?

The question of cases is a regular on the list. Although probably not what you need, I stumbled across some cases in an unexpected place. RC enthusiasts have the need to carry around their transmitters too, so cases show up in their catalogs. These tend to be around 5 or 6 inches deep so probably a bit small for the K line but might be just the ticket for a KX3 plus accessories. They come in aluminum and plastic for as little as $28. I have not seen these personally but given that transmitters cost up to $3000 and get drug out in the field these cases might be sturdy enough.

Just another idea. Here is one vendor <http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=PAH&P=7>

Re: K-line carrying cases

When I used to travel a lot, I used to laugh at the beautiful shiny
black cases people carried with "Nikon" in gold letters plastered on the
side. They might as well just say "Steal me first". I always went for a
crappy looking canvas camera bag and built what I needed inside to
protect the gear.

I feel the same way about radio cases. If it looks like it is protecting
something expensive, it is probably worth stealing. Some of these cases
are expensive enough to steal even empty!

Re: K-line carrying cases

For the K Line these are quality, roomy and secure:

True, a little cumbersome.

I have found that a serrated bread knife works well, when used with a sawing motion, to cut through the little joiner pieces between the pick-n-pluck foam cubes. Another trick for cutting open cell foam, especially when trying to cut a non-linear profile, is to wet it, freeze it and cut it while frozen with a knife blade, or a finer toothed straight set blade, in a jig saw.

I called Rose about a month back. Was wondering the same thing.
She was in the middle of treatment. She did tell me that she was about to send me pictures of my K-Line covers, for my approval.
But i never got them. I'm guessing she's dealing with some serious health issues right now.
G*d, i hope she is ok and going to recover.
Case can wait...
