Carry Case Baofeng GMRS

[vzqhsg]

I saw a carry case for 2 radios, short antennas, and a mesh pocket to put cables and the like.  Has anyone purchased this.  It's only $15.  If you have can you list pros/cons. 

 

Thanks,

Dave

I carry my radio in my hand, pocket, belt clip, holster, cup holder, dash mount, saddle bag, charge cradle, ……The list goes on. But never found I could use the radio very well if it’s in a box or bag or put away in some way.

Go on Ebay and search 'Nylon Carry Cases"   You'll go to sleep looking at the thouseands of options

You have a link to the case so we can check it out?

If you want something more robust, another good option is checking out Army / Navy surplus stores. They often have great multi use bags and cases etc....

I'm looking for a hard case to hold the radio & mike, mag mount and antenna.  Something I can put into a vehicle.

For a lot of money you can highly customize a Pelican Case for your needs. But, for much cheaper you can get a similar case from Harbor Freight. Want to get really inexpensive the old surplus ammo cans are pretty cool.

Without linking to what you are talking about I'm not going to search for days to figure out what you are talking about.  

 

I got an Apache hard case from Harbor Freight and i fit 1 H3, 1 935G, one Q10H with a couple extra antennas and batteries. Its not that small but its good if i want to travel with multiple radios.

I tend to buy Pelican. But the harbor freight option looks good. I don't plan on invading a small country with it.

On one of our trips I ended up using one of my wifes Yeti lunch coolers... figured I better get somthing designated. 

I ended up with this Go Pro case from amazon ($18). I use usb-c cables to charge and I can get three radios and cables or two radios and a small battery bank  ($20). I got one for the Surecom, dummy, cables and adapters as well. I used some velcro strips to keep stuff where I want it. Probably something better out there but it was cheap and it works.

I have several Apache cases from Harbor Freight. They will work just fine to protect radios. I trust them enough to put my handguns in.

Nice find!

I bought a hardside case from Amazon for (IIRC) $17-18. I use it for my "grab-and-go" field trip/travel kit. It contains 2 each AR-5RM radios, spare batteries, USB charging cables, 701 antennas, 771 antennas, tri-band antennas, and belt clips. Also 1 each user's manual, dual-port 12-volt USB power unit, dual-port 110-volt USB power unit, a tiny Phillips screwdriver (to install the belt clips), programming cable, and (for the sake of completeness), a USB drive with CHIRP and the program file for the radio on it. Wherever I go, I can pull out my laptop -- or even someone else's computer -- and put in all the local repeaters. Having two radios means I can give one of them to a friend or have a backup in case one goes down. It doesn't weigh much, and it seems to provide good protection. The radios have silicone sleeves for protection. I put them face-down so the other stuff doesn't scratch up the screens and there's a thin piece of foam under them just for added protection.

That's the case I saw on the Baofeng site.  I also remembered I have a hard case from 2014 that I got when I purchased a digital camera.  I'm going to see how much I can get in it.  I have two radios so would be nice to carry th 2nd one and accessories in the case.  Thanks for posting.
