I put my K3 into a large food box I bought for a few £ from Morrisons
supermarket. It has a tight-fitting lid and the K3 is held snugly in place
and everything is protected. I carry this my shoulder bag. The box is
polypropylene I think and is soft enough to absorb knocks on the corners. I
haven't done a drop test, but I think it would be fine for travelling. In a
shoulder bag it would be surrounded by other materials and is good for
carry-on. I haven't tried the P3 in a food box, but I'm sure I'd find one,
even another of the same as the K3 filled with stuff like your bug key,
headphones, etc.
I know it's not quite what you asked for but I think this is a superior
solution and the cost is negligible.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 + P3 Combo Pelican / Hard Case
I have looked at the archives a little bit, but I haven't quite stumbled on
a short and sweet paragraph or two about this.
Has anyone selected and used a Pelican case to protect and transport a
K3/100 + P3 combo. If so, what case did you choose?
I've been looking at the 15xx (1550) and possibly the iM2500 cases; but
they are quite 'tight' dimensionally. I'm interested in any experiences
people have with:
1) Pelican Cases for a K3/100+P3 combo (I mention /100 because of the fans
hanging back), and/or;
2) Experience with a similar but potentially less expensive option.
I'd like to pack my radio up for the trip to G-land and select a case that
would allow me to take the radio on a DXpedition at some point -- so an
option is to expand the case size to include the power supply, etc.
More than anything - I'm interested in opinions around how much space is
needed to protect the radio, etc.
Thanks
