Radio Carrying Case
Hello,
I've been looking for a new radio carrying case for my handheld radios. Right now I use an old camera bag to hold the radios, so then I can hold the antenna in one hand, and the speaker mic in the other hand. This has gotton complicated, however, because to adjust for doppler shift on my radios, I have to rummage around in my bag to to find the radios and have to push the buttons to change the frequency, which takes too much time.
Does anybody have any ideas for a cheap way to hold the radios so they are easy to locate and don't take so much time to change the frequencies?

It isn't quite cheap, but Pelican makes a wide variety of cases to hold things. I don't know the geometry of your radios, but I'm sure you could find a good fit. I too looked for a cheap case to hold some radios, and paid for it when it bounced down a staircase...
