I bought this case from Amazon based on your video, and it is a PERFECT match for this radio. I made a few mods to the inside, and removed the badge from the handle. Seriously, thank you so much for making this video and sharing the purchase link! 73 de N2MXX in NJ

@@temporarilyoffline I removed the piece of mesh exactly as you showed, and it is perfect. Furthermore, I made a 3S 18650 lithium battery with 9 batteries salvaged from a dead Ryobi battery pack (one of the batteries was dead in the pack, the rest were good....3S BMS from Amazon for a few dollars)...batteries placed side-by-side, and it fits perfectly in the top part...tests at about 6ah. I also took a piece of spare kydex plastic, cut it to the size of the 6100, and drilled holes for the knobs....it sits on top of the radio while it is in the case (held in place by the knob-holes) and protects the screen from compression.

Just what I needed! Ordered my ex6100 from r&l electronics yesterday and started freaking out because I didn't really have a suitable case for it yet. I've got something good for everything else the KX2, kx3, 705 and the qcxmini but this guy was going to be naked on my next expedition, which is coming up in less than a week! Not anymore thanks to you man!

@@temporarilyoffline I like that QRaP! I have my reasons mainly because the only one I ever bought had problems within a week of owning it. I’m glad the eBay vendor “Lets Get Ready” took it back. After that I swore them off for good. I’d rather buy one good radio that’s quality and expensive than gamble having several cheap ones that is like shooting “craps”. I can’t imagine warranty work and half decent customer service is even possible dealing with a company in China that’s already got your money and probably doesn’t care.

First, THANK YOU for all of your work on the x6100. I too, got this bag, and contrary to your video and others' experience, I found the bag too small for this radio. Yes, I can wedge it in, and remove it, but with significant difficulty. You make it look easy. Not in my case [pun intended]. My specimum bag can't be smaller than yours, can it? I decided to cut each side edge of the lower netting, creating a flap. I reinforced along each cut, both inside and opposing outside with a small velcro strip. Now I have the extra room I need to put the radio in and remove it without struggling.
@temporarilyoffline Жыл бұрын
Thank you for the kind words. My radio fits in the bag "snug" and I also removed the top section of mesh leaving the bottom section inside. I have the mic, radio, power cord, usb cable, log book all stored in the case snugly... maybe you get a slightly smaller case? Drop some pics on TOADs discord and I'll show some pics of my current setup in return.
