KX2 Waterproof Case

Elecraft mailing list
For the first time in my life, I will disagree with Don.  A zip-lock bag will not protect your KX2 or even M&Ms in the event of a capsize.  I speak not from theory or opinion, but as an expert kayak capsizer.  Tested and true.  You need the type of Pelican case that has an O-ring, not some of their smaller cases which are not waterproof.
In a capsize, the case can get submerged by force.  Even a couple inches of water will present enough pressure to breach lesser cases.
