[Elecraft] K3 foam protectors
I have a set of foam protectors that Ed, W0YK, made available last year. The go on the front and rear of the radio and fit in one of Rose's cases. You have to let her know you have the inserts so she can provide the correct size case. $20 Tnx Greg AB7R __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] K3 Foam Protectors [UPDATE]
> Last summer I described the front/rear panel foam protectors > that I have designed for the K3. Two important clarifications: 1. Case sizing - these foam protectors add about 1.5" in the front-to-back dimension of the K3. Therefore, any case that is sized to accommodate just the K3 itself may not allow the foam protectors to be added. If you already have a case don't assume you can add the foam and still get the assembly inserted easily. For example, I had a pair of Rose Kopp cases made at the introduction of the K3. They are GREAT! But, after using them to take my K3s as flight carry-ons, the notion of these foam protectors was inspired. I was barely able to cram the K3s and foam into the original cases, so I sent Rose a set of the protectors and purchased a second set of bags that allow the assembly to easily slip in and out with a still have a perfect fit. Those of you who already have Rose Kopp, or other, cases may not be able to add these foam protectors. Send any complaints to ME, not Rose, because she is not clairvoyant, hi! She does make wonderful accessories for the Elecraft products, even pink (apologies, Eric!). 2. PayPal - Yes, PayPal is fine (even preferred) IF you can figure out how to get me the full amount. My w...@msn.com PayPal account is Personal so it is possible to get fee-less funds to me. You either need to pay the PayPal fees on your end, or send me extra to cover the fees, or configure the transaction to be fee-less. One way that often works is to "gift" me the money. Typically, sending as Goods, or Services, will result in fees. Also, you must use funds already in your PayPal account or use bank funds ... NOT credit card funds. I can also run credit cards through my business.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Foam Protectors
Julius, These protectors are absolutely worth it and are a perfect compliment to Rose's cases. I saw Eric's at SeaPac last year and new immediately that I wanted them. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Jan 21 7:14 , "Ed Muns" sent: >Not likely ...

Not likely ... I'll probably fill my baggage quota with wine, hi! But, Eric transports his K3s the same way and will have them in the Elecraft booth where you can have a look-see.

[Elecraft] K3 Foam Protectors
Last summer I described the front/rear panel foam protectors that I have designed for the K3. I had some dies fabricated for the foam company to stamp out closed-cell foam protectors for the front and rear panels of the K3 for transport. I have them glue 1/16" PVC sheets to the foam so that any shock is distributed over the entire foam surface with very little impact transferred to the K3. Go to www.w0yk.com/k3_foam_protectors.htm and see how I use these protectors to take two K3s in custom Rose Kopp cases and three laptops (plus a lot of other stuff like cables, manuals, power modules, trackballs, cameras, headphones, etc.) as carry-ons in my International travels. Note that it is a very different transport strategy than using Pelican or other hard cases that are more bulky and often only feasible as checked baggage. Since TSA came into being and rifles through our luggage without us being present I've been reluctant to subject my K3s to that routine. Thus, this carry-on strategy. In any case, if whatever transport mechanism you use might benefit from these protectors, I can supply them at $15/set plus shipping. The USPS flat-cost medium box shipper is $10.70 which can take two sets anywhere in CONUS. I just had another production run made this week and a few extra sets are available. If there is more demand, I'll do another run which can be done with one day turn-around.
