I have always used temporary solutions for storage of my smaller radios, such as the KX3 and KX1. Commercial cases providing padding and ideal fit have been discussed before on this list. However, I never felt that the products suggested would meet my needs. In the back of my mind I have long worried that some rogue state might wipe out our radios by EMP. To position the nuclear device, they would not even need to use a missile that travels intercontinentally or is accurately aimed. My frequently used radios are set up for immediate use, and would be unprotected. The smaller, very portable radios I don't use that often, and would be stored away. They should be stored in cases that function as Faraday cages. I am looking for storage cases made of metal, and with good electrical contact between case and lid. Light weight is desirable. Any suggestions from the List? My best idea so far is rectangular cookie tins, such as marketed around Xmas, but finding the desired sizes is not easy. Note to self: Don't be too upset if you have to sacrifice yourself and eat some extra cookies in order to find the ideal tin.
