Travel Case for K3

[Elecraft mailing list]

What cases for traveling with the K3 has been good?  Plano, Pelican???  I've started searching and found options, but maybe there is a vendor on here?

I like the Pelican cases.  We used them extensively for portable HT
Field kits at my former work (we had about 14 of them).  They are
rated waterproof to extreme depth (Navy Seals use them for
equipment).  The new cases come with perforated foam inserts which
you can remove to make a custom fit space for equipment.  Extremely
durable from dropping or being run over.  But they are expensive so
shop around on line as often one can get up to 50% off MFRP.

I have two.  One encloses my 10-GHz portable station which includes
my KX3-2M.  I used to be able to carry-on airlines but stopped due to
TSA screening.  Now I pre-ship with FedEx to my destination hotel.

The other one fit a FT-726 VHF satellite radio and could easily
accommodate a K3.  I do not travel with my K3 so it does not see much use.

What issues with TSA caused you to start shipping via FedEx?  I experienced no problems the last time I came and was planning to bring something again when we come up to take care of our grandson.

Isn’t FedEx rather pricy to and from Alaska?

I utilize a Pelican 1510 which is considered a FAA Roller.  It's interior dimensions are 19.75x11x7.6".
I designed a foam package utilizing high density polyethylene which provides protection for all the knobs and the fans. The Package carries a K3, MFJ 4125 Power Supply, Heil ProSet Headset, footswitch, bag for misc. wiring and connectors and the K3 Manual. Total weight is 30 Pounds which is critical for small airlines.  Picture attached
