I was lucky to get one of these messenger bags when they were available. Absolutely perfect for the KX3 with accessories. The thing it is almost identical apart from logo to the National Geographic messenger bag, but a quarter of the price as it doesn't have the branding.

I second the MCM cases. And as a side note on MCM for rolling your own,they sell the soft pluck foam that I had been looking for years for. It is sized for their cases but they give you the deminsions which make it easy to get what you need. And it is very reasonably priced. On Tuesday, May 17,

As I promised, I would load the soft KX3 case from Rose into my soft-sided roller bag and fly it across the country an report what happened. What happened is the left lever on the KXPD3 iambic key was broken resulting in ERR KEY on the radio. Backing out the adjustment screw restored the key

What issues with TSA caused you to start shipping via FedEx? I experienced no problems the last time I came and was planning to bring something again when we come up to take care of our grandson. Isn’t FedEx rather pricy to and from Alaska? David K0LUM > On May 16, 2016, at 4:34 AM, Edward

I like the Pelican cases. We used them extensively for portable HT Field kits at my former work (we had about 14 of them). They are rated waterproof to extreme depth (Navy Seals use them for equipment). The new cases come with perforated foam inserts which you can remove to make a custom
