I use a LowePro Nova 170 AW. Holds the KX3,
batteries, etc. Has a waterproof cover.

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 con
ce
rns about the welfare of the contents.

Sorry, Jim, but there's no model number anywhere on or in the bag. I've owned
this bag for many years, so it's likely been discontinued. I used it to
transport an Icom 703 for a long time before I got the KX3. I just
reconfigured the dividers as required.
My suggestion is to visit a large camera store (the kind of place where professional photographers shop) and see what they have to offer. That's how I found my bag. Maybe look at the web sites of some of the big national camera stores, like B & H Photo & Video, Ritz Camera (where I buy a lot of my photo gear), and so on. Your bag is out there...
