Default Recommendation for VERY small, Very rugged, digital tuning


What I did was take my little radio into the camera store,
and try it with various Lowepro camera cases until I found one that
fits like it was made for it. After all, a good little radio should
have good protection. And the little bags made from thin material that
come with the radios just don't do it. The Lowepro cases are various
sizes, compact, padded, with a little extra protected pocket just big
enought for the little wire extension antenna that came with the
radio, plus a set of spare batteries. In my opinion much better then a
food container, unless you figure that the radio and case is going to
go for a swim. In that case I would simply put the radio in a small
ziplock bag before putting it into the Lowepro case.


Here is the Lowepro URL:

http://www.lowepro.com/
Take a look at the
Rezo 30, Rezo 40, & Rezo 50 in the Lowepro product line. I got the
Rezo 50, because the extra little pocket on the front also has a
zipper, as well as a velcor flap. The 30 and 40 use only a velcro flap
for the small pocket. Of course the main camera, (radio) pocket on
all of them use zippers. But I modified mine with a dome fastener kit.
I added a dome fastener fo the little velco flap for the little
pocket. So now it closes with the zipper, plus the velcro flap cover
and the dome fastener. The dome is a dull black color, so it matches
the color of the case perfectly and looks like it was made that way.
