KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

[John Harper]

I use a B&W case. Similar to Pelican but less $$$:

Here's how it looks with the tiny foam blocks removed to accomodate a KX2,
paddles, etc:

I keep my KX2 in a Pelican 1300 case.  It is a small but deep case—with enough depth to fit a 7 AHr 4-cell LiFePO4 battery and some kit in a bottom layer with the KX2 and more stuff on top.  I plan to add a SideCarPlus memory keyer to that top layer.  This is a waterproof go station for bike trailer or car camping and a bit heavy for backpacking
