I would say that any Pelican box or Otter box which will hold
the radio will do a good job. While the internal foam can make a
nice custom case, I find my needs change so rapidly that I get
at most one trip. Now I just make sure the radio/cameras etc are
well padded with enough padding so they won't rattle in the case.
The things you can't live without are things like medicines. If
you are setting up a well publicized DXpedition, your radios may
qualify. If you are just planning a vacation style DXpedition,
probably not.
The most common problem is luggage lost in the airline system.
In this case it will usually pop out in a day or so, although
there is a risk of theft by the hired delivery service. Picking
it up yourself is safer.
To deter light fingers, lock your luggage using locks that take
a bit of time to open. I use miniture quick links that have to
be unscrewed, taking 5 or 10 seconds. This deters the open and
grab artists in the luggage crew who will instead attack someone
else's, more conventionally protected luggage where they have a
quick way in. In the worst case, only insurance will offer protection.
