Along the same lines..., this is what I bought for primary containment of this hot radioactive device. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Plano_Guide_Guide_Series_Waterproof_Case_1460/descpage-PL1460.html
I wrap the KX3 in bubblewrap and place it somewhat diagonally in the box with the right-angle antenna connector sitting in a void and held in that configuration by filling other space with the MH3. The rubber peices that come with the box are sticky-soft and hold everything tightly in place with very little compression on the bubble wrap. It is gas-tight as well. This box and a few other containers (for cables, headset. various connectors, meter and an antenna analyzer (which I don't need because the KX3 will match anything it seems) all go into an Igloo ice chest for easy carrying - with room to spare for additional items. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Premium-28QT/13848709 When I need my 23 AH Lifeline battery (also runs my CPAP machine) for camping, I carry it in this http://www.igloo-store.com/product_detail.asp?T1=IGL+PLAYMATE+MINI&trk_src_ss=IGLPAYPCWEBMACSS&kw=igloo%20playmate%20mini carrying case ($9 from WM) I cushion and hold the battery in place with strips cut from rigid foam pipe insulation) I just purchased an APP chassis connector to install in the cover. The handle makes such a dense battery quite manageable.
