I am looking at the purchase of a pelican case to transport my K2.
I would be interested in learning what model case's any of the the members of this list have used.

Hi Jim,
I use the Pelican 1400 Case. It is big enough only for the K2. If you want to place other stuff in with it you will need to go larger. 72 and Thanks, Ron Polityka WB3AAL www.wb3aal.com www.n3epa.org/ K1 - SN 01011 K2 - SN 01392 ----- Original Message ----- From: "wx9j" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 4:29 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Pelican cases I am looking at the purchase of a pelican case to transport my K2.

Hash: SHA1 I use the 1450. Plenty of room for the K2 and my Begali key. There is also plenty of space left to drop any adapters I need in there.

I'm similarly interested in cases for a K1. Big enough to protect it,
but otherwise as small as possible. Thanks for any recommendations! 73, Mike ab3ap wx9j wrote: > I am looking at the purchase of a pelican case to transport my K2. > > I would be interested in learning what model case's any of the the members of this list have used. > > Jim - WX9J _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

So much depends on what all you want to pack with the K2 that it's somewhat
pointless to make a recommendation. For example, I've been looking at cases to carry my K2, KAT100, power supply, microHam microKeyer, paddles, keyboard and cabling. That's a significantly different load of equipment than someone with a QRP K2 and a straight key. Figure out everything you want to put in there, measure it, allow for an inch between everything and an inch or more around the outside and come up with the volume you need. Many sites list all the Pelican case sizes. I'm currently look at SKB waterproof cases from www.markertek.com for my needs.

Some of these protective cases are exceedingly good but the plastic versions
have hinges and lip around periphery that extend the size considerably. Although they are made of structural foam, they add quite a bit to the weight of a basic K2, even the K2/100. I use a large sandwich/food box and tuck headphones, key, antenna bits, tools and a little bubble wrap around to fill it out. This then can be carried in a small, lightweight hold-all bag surrounded by clothes, food, bottled water or whatever the need for the portable operation. You can waste a lot of volume with cut-out foam padding inside these cases. It looks nice and tidy and everything has its place which is good for, say emergency exercises but is not space-efficient.

I use a Pelican 1120. It offers maximum protection, however like David pointed out, it adds extra dimention to kx1. The outside dimentions are: 8.25" x 6.5" x 3.5". If you can live with these dimentions, you won't have to worry about the kx1 getting bumped or knocked around. On the bottom of my kx1 page, I have a picture of the rig in it's case. http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/ppike/kx1.html Paul - VE1DY On 12/16/06, Mike Markowski <[hidden email]> wrote: > I'm similarly interested in cases for a K1.

Hi Mike,
Sorry about my earlier post. I looked at K1 and somehow saw kx1. Guess 1 coffee's not enough in the morning!

You might try Home Depot. They periodically sell really nice lockable
aluminum cases filled with pluck-foam. I bought three for about $15 each a couple of years ago. Of course the locks will only keep out honest crooks. Real crooks will just steal the case.
