KX3 Carrying Case

Any recommendations on a carry case for a KX3 that would have space for accessories i.e. Connectors, mic etc.. Also to serve as a storage case when the KX3 isn't in use.

Thanks,
Tom

Re: KX3 Carrying Case

I use a Pelican box - the same type I keep my Dive Computers in. It is fully waterproof - has a pressure equalisation plug - and built to last. Not the cheapest option - but one I feel comfortable with.

Regards

Tim

Rose Kopp makes an excellent storage and travel bag for the KX3 in a couple of different versions. Link is on the Elecraft website.

I have one made to hold the KX3, PX3, and KXPA100. I don't have the amp, so I use that compartment for my A123 battery, charger, a small power supply, and misc accessories. A compact keyboard also fits nicely inside the top, and two side pockets hold the mic, cables, and other junk I haul around.

It's a soft bag, so you can't reasonably stand on it, drop it off a cliff and expect it to survive, or fly with it as checked baggage etc., but at least it doesn't weigh more than what's inside it.

Re: KX3 Carrying Case

I have an old clarinet case I'm thinking about converting to a case for the
KX3. Where did you get the foam for your Pelican case and how do you cut
it?

I have one of Rose's lovely bags which I will be flying with for
the first time later this month. I plan to put into my suitcase,
which is what I did with the Pelican case I used before. If any
disasters occur, I'll let you all know.

Be very careful......Those old musical instrument cases are likely to be
haunted by the ghost of the instrument it held.
The instrument, if not current IN the case will drive you nutz if it finds
that you're using for something else.
By the way Clarinets are the absolute WORST for this phenomenon.
You'll hear those spooky tweets in the middle of the night until the two are
re-united.
