Thanks Gerry, but I'm not the one looking for a case. I was offering suggestions for an OM named Jim, who I believe is looking for a transportable protective case for his KX3 & accessories. Aren't Rose's "cases" essentially just a dust cover, bearing an embroidered call sign or such if desired, for stationary units in a shack?
