Re: [KX3] Case for KX3

Dennis Griffin-2
LowePro does have a very good bag finder guide on their website, and the BestBuy in my area carries quite a few of their bags, if you don't have a larger camera shop in your area. I have used many of their products for a few decades and it's all holding up well. REI also has some of their bags, as well as some photog type bags from MountainSmith.

Seeing a few comments about them, I ordered a StrobeStuff bag from ThinkTank, but returned it. I felt it is far bulkier than need be and doesn't offer protection for much beyond light bumps or scrapes, and I found it clumsy to get a KX3 into it, even w/o heatsink, SideKX's or Lexan cover, because of the center opening zipper. Might have been easier with a Lexan cover installed, preventing it from trying to hang up on the zipper. A snug fitting Polarfleece type stuff bag or something like a thick sock would offer about as much protection with minimal additional bulk, if one were going to carry it packed away in a backpack, for example. For carrying just the KX3 and a few accessories, on a bicycle, motorcycle or in the trunk of a vehicle, something like the Pelican 1200 or a well padded photog type case or pack is probably the best insurance. I've taken expensive camera & radio gear off road on the back of a dual sport motorcycle in Pelican 1200, 1300 & 1400 cases with no conce
 rns about the welfare of the contents.

Re: [KX3] Case for KX3

My KX3 has the Sidekicks, Fred's heatsink, etc.
Plenty of room, but not too much. A very good fit.

Re: [KX3] Case for KX3

In reply to this post by Phil Wheeler-2
For those in the UK, I use this bag which takes the KX3 with the extra heatsink and side handles fitted etc, plenty of room for all the other gubbins you need, extra batteries, key, mic, wire antenna, head set. I think I bought mine it was in a sale and was even less expensive too.
It has a waterproof cover too, though I have never used it.

http://www.7dayshop.com/products/7dayshop-canvas-photo-messenger-shoulder-bag-DS-014

Being into photography as well as amateur radio, I have a collection of very expensive camera bags as I try to find the ideal one for various cameras and lenses, but I must say I think the 7dayshop one is as well thought out and protective as those much more expensive bags.

Re: [KX3] Case for KX3

Dennis Griffin-2
Thanks Gerry, but I'm not the one looking for a case. I was offering suggestions for an OM named Jim, who I believe is looking for a transportable protective case for his KX3 & accessories. Aren't Rose's "cases" essentially just a dust cover, bearing an embroidered call sign or such if desired, for stationary units in a shack?

Hi Gerry,

OK, thanks for clarifying that. It was awhile ago when I was on the site that offered her product, and all I recalled was the dust cover type.
