I have the Pelican 1060 case for my KX1. The radio fits along with a palm paddle and a few extras (#26 guage wire for antenna/counterpoise, laminated instruction card and wire for the paddle).
Here is info on the Palm Paddle: http://www.mtechnologies.com/palm/ Here is the case: http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1060 The only thing that doesn't fit that I usually use is the Buddipole A123 battery (4S1P): http://www.buddipole.com/portablepower.html 73 Jay On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 8:15 PM, eric norris <[email protected]>wrote: > Today I proudly carried my KX1 into the Sunnyvale, CA Fry's Electronics to > try out hard cases for my KX1.
