Hey Dennis .... The K3 will fit in a Pelican 1510 - about 1/4" of foam on each side, but that should be good enough for carry on - as long as you can keep it in sight or in the overhead. But I would not want baggage handlers anywhere to touch it! And you could probably get a switching power supply in the 1510 with it. The 1520 with a 1527 might be good to check in, but it doesn't look like it has wheels to pull through airports like the 1510 does. A 1527 alone looks like it might be about the same as a Rose Kopp case. I used a Rose Kopp case to take take my K3 to Nicaragua and was fairly apprehensive any time anyone came close to it! It is a very nice case for traveling by car or to Field Day etc but not on an airplane. This winter if I take the K3 again it will go carry on in a 1510 with wheels. 73 Hank K8DD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
