I've carried mine in all those ways, plus just putting it a softsided case that fits it, and putting that in a duffle bag padded with clothes, and checking it.
For a oneshot, bubblewrapping and in hardside luggage should be fine. The Pelican case is overkill unless you're packing it a lot, into extreme environments, and use of the radio at the other end is critical, such as you're traveling for a DXpedition. I used a 4225 on my first DXpedition, and now that I've got a way of testing the 4125 at extreme levels before I leave, I've started taking that one again. 73, doug Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2007 17:47:59 -0700 From: David Fleming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's mighty quite around here all of a sudden. I'll be taking the K2 with me and the family on vacation this summer. I'm trying to come up with a good way to package the rig for the flight. I've never traveled with a radio before. I'll be taking the K2, KAT100-1, MFJ-4225MV (I know, but it seems to be a fairly decent little power supply), headset/mic, bencher paddles, cables, wire, some tools, etc. My first thought was to give everything a good bubble wrapping and put it all in a sturdy (hard shell) suitcase and be done with it. But I can't treat my K2 that way. I'm thinking the best solution (within reason) would be to buy a Pelican 1650 with the pluck foam and make a nice cubby hole in the foam for everything. Or I could put the K2 and KAT in a much smaller case and take it carry-on and put everything else in a suitcase. Those Pelican cases are a bit pricey though. How do ya'll (yous guys) do it? -David W4SMT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
