I also have padded bag by Rose. It's really plush and has a laptop pocket (so you can carry it on the plane as your laptop and take another carry on bag as well). Going to TI5 in Nov and will have that bag with the k3/laptop combo. 73 Darrell AB2E Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T

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

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? David K0LUM > On May 16, 2016, at 4:34 AM, Edward R

I second the MCM cases. And as a side note on MCM for rolling your own,they sell the soft pluck foam that I had been looking for years for. It is sized for their cases but they give you the deminsions which make it easy to get what you need. And it is very reasonably priced. On Tuesday, May 17, 20

I was lucky to get one of these messenger bags when they were available. Absolutely perfect for the KX3 with accessories. The thing it is almost identical apart from logo to the National Geographic messenger bag, but a quarter of the price as it doesn't have the branding. https://www.7dayshop.c
