Re: [Elecraft] Leather Case for K2
I'm thinking that any industrious ham could easily pick up where this fellow left off and make cases like this - I've been pondering this myself since I'd also love a black nylon carry bag for my K2 to tow it along with my buddipole when I go picnic table portable. -Daniel AA0NI Oklahoma City --- "Leigh L Klotz, Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There was a MountainOps nylon case at one point. > Last time I saw one on Ebay it went for more than my price range (>$40 I > think).

Re: [Elecraft] Leather Case for K2
You can find many suitable cases at places selling to other markets than ham radio. One time, I realized a lot of QRP rigs fit the insulated coolers for six packs. Makes a good way to store your rig in a car full time. Larger cases with room for air to circulate would work for operational field cases. Check out old camera gadget bags with hard sides at used camera stores or pawn shops. Stuart K5KVH

There was a MountainOps nylon case at one point. Last time I saw one on Ebay it went for more than my price range (>$40 I think). I sent mail to the OM who ran Mountain Ops and never heard if they had any more. I have one for my 817. > I have made an inquiry to have a leather case made > for my K2.

Fernando, N2FQ wrote: I have made an inquiry to have a leather case made for my K2. I was thinking of the type used for binoculars with a shoulder strap. This way the rig can be taken out and put back. Plain leather without fancy adornments though. Or one that fits snuggly around the K2 like a glove. No need to have the rig remove, just open the front/rear flap. - Sounds neat, Fernando, but consider the need for cooling. Even the QRP K2 has a heat sink on the bottom that needs a little air space if you're working in a warm location and doing very much transmitting. Maybe a stiff "floor" in the case on which the K2 feet rest so when the front and back are open there's a gap between the feet under the unit. You could store a log book and pencil in there for transit . Ron AC7AC ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
