\"Bag-Tactical\"<\/a>Speaking of backpacks and protective cases for radios<\/a>, SWLing Post<\/em> reader, JC, recommends an inexpensive tactical shoulder pack available via eBay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

JC writes:<\/p>\n

I tend to want a little more protection and space so I use a tactical military type shoulder bag for my portable radio kit. It hangs nicely off the back of the passenger’s seat in my car and allows me to keep my PL-660, spare batteries, portable wire antenna, earphones, frequency lists, and other gear all together in a handy pack. <\/em><\/p>\n

JC’s shoulder pack<\/p><\/div>\n

The price is about\u00a0$13.60 w\/ free shipping. It’s a great bag for my portable kit, and it’s built pretty sturdy. Any extra protection is better than none for a radio used out in the field<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Click here to view on eBay.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for the recommendation! That is incredibly affordable and a great looking bag.<\/p>\n

I’m very partial to Spec Ops Brand packs<\/a>, but they’re quite pricey in comparison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
