Perhaps I am expecting too much, but I rather suspect that a nice case like
this one could actually be helpful in getting through security at an airport.
With the nice logo and lettering that Rose puts on the case, it really gives
more credibility to what's inside. It just seems to me that something
professional looking like this would reduce the "angst" the security folks
might otherwise have. Maybe it sounds like whitewash, but when they see a case
that says "Elecraft K3", and then open it up and sure enough, there's a K3 in
there, that just might get you a faster pass! These security people look at
thousands of items each day, and most of the time they are probably looking for
something hidden which is buried deep in a luggage item. This, however, would
be putting it right up front, with a name and everything. But just to add to
your arsenal of arguments, in case they do question what it is, I would carry a
recent copy of QST with one of those full page ads for the K3 inside. That
could be a clincher.

Subject: [Elecraft] My Evaluation Of The K3 Carry Bag By Rose Kopp
I always allow plenty of time before I make an evaluation of a product. Most
products look good and appear to be able to do the job. It is only in the real
word of use can one really find out if a product is quality or not.
I have had my K3 carry case by Rose Kopp for 7 months and have used the heck
out of it. I have used it to carry my K3 through airport security, on
airplanes as carry on luggage, to and from vacation sites, and to and from
field day. I can honestly say this is one rugged, well built carry case using
quality components that does a beautiful job of protecting and transporting my
K3.
I ordered one optional add on side pocket in which I put my hand mike and PSK
and power cables. The big standard pocket is large enough to carry the K3
operations manual along with other paper documents I might want.
So for users looking for a nice padded carry case for your K3, you should
drop Rose a note and look at their products. Quality and service are top notch
-- something you expect from a K3 related product.
