Re: [Elecraft] K2 carrying case?
Chris - I use a Samsonite L25 case. It is just large enough for the K2, a Kenwood MC43 mic, Palm paddle, a folding headset, user manual, AC adapter/charger, some basic antenna materials, logsheets, and cables. Case has Velcro straps to secure radio, several pouches, zippers everywhere. I have used mine to carry the K2 all over the country. About $30.00 at Amazon.com (usual disclaimers apply). - Jim, KL7CC Chris Kantarjiev wrote: I'm aware of Rose Kopp's lovely soft cases for the K2. I'm looking for something a bit more durable. I have an unused "messenger-style" bag and am hoping to find a rubbermaid/tupperware style of box that is just a bit larger than the K2; I'm happy to make a foam liner to protect it inside the box, and then slip it all into the messenger bag, along with a key, cables, etc. I haven't yet found the perfect box, or one that's even close; the K2 is apparently not shaped like most things that people want to store! Others must have been down this path before - did you find something? Do you remember what style/make/model?

Re: [Elecraft] K2 carrying case?
I have a Pelican 1400 case which fits well and comes with foam padding which is easily shaped to the K2. Not cheap, but very strong.

[Elecraft] K2 carrying case?
I'm aware of Rose Kopp's lovely soft cases for the K2. I'm looking for something a bit more durable.
