My Evaluation Of The K3 Carry Bag By Rose Kopp
 
|
I always allow plenty of time before I make an evaluation of a
product. Most products look good and appear to be able to do the
job. It is only in the real word of use can one really find out if a
product is quality or not.
I have had my K3 carry case by Rose Kopp for 7 months and have used the
heck out of it. I have used it to carry my K3 through airport security, on
airplanes as carry on luggage, to and from vacation sites, and to and from field
day. I can honestly say this is one rugged, well built carry case using
quality components that does a beautiful job of protecting and transporting
my K3.
I ordered one optional add on side pocket in which I put my hand mike and
PSK and power cables. The big standard pocket is large enough to carry the
K3 operations manual along with other paper documents I might want.
So for users looking for a nice padded carry case for your K3, you
should drop Rose a note and look at their products. Quality and service
are top notch -- something you expect from a K3 related product.

Perhaps I am expecting too much, but I rather suspect that
a nice case like this one could actually be helpful in getting through security
at an airport. With the nice logo and lettering that Rose puts on the
case, it really gives more credibility to what's inside. It just seems to
me that something professional looking like this would reduce the "angst" the
security folks might otherwise have. Maybe it sounds like whitewash, but
when they see a case that says "Elecraft K3", and then open it up and sure
enough, there's a K3 in there, that just might get you a faster pass!
These security people look at thousands of items each day, and most of the time
they are probably looking for something hidden which is buried deep in a luggage
item. This, however, would be putting it right up front, with a name and
everything. But just to add to your arsenal of arguments, in case
they do question what it is, I would carry a recent copy of QST with one of
those full page ads for the K3 inside. That could be a
clincher.
