What do you carry your radios in?....
Along with chargers, headsets, cables, etc. Is there a Pelican case that it all fits in, or are you using a carrying bag of some sort. Curious minds and all that, I just know there has to be something better than my backpack....

I have a Pelican 1510 case that is an extra one from my photography stuff that I have used but since I have limited space I have moved back to a small soft sided bag that I put into one of my rubbermaid totes.
The 1510 is great if you have a fair amount of radio gear. It is deep as well so you have more options to setup the box to hold radio gear. Also it can be used as carry on luggage for airplanes since the dimensions were built to be the max allowable size.

Pelican 1520, very close in size to ^
In hindsight, I think it's overkill since the radios and headset are well built and can take a beating, so I would have no issue with using a soft bag.

I bought a metal camera case at the local Harbor Freight outlet. It has pre-cut foam on the inside which you remove to customize the fit. And it was only $20. It fits 2 radios, 2 chargers, 2 headsets and spare batteries.

I prefer a hard case simply because my radios are stored in a cabinet in the trailer right next to alignment tools, shock nitrogen tools, pyrometers, air guages, electric impact wrenches, etc that are all stored in their respective hard cases as well. I'd rather now worry about what's stacked on top of the radios as I go down the road.

I use a Lightware small format attache from my old photography days. Super light and very proetective. I have about a dozen of these cases.

Pelican 1550 with a custom foam insert from CaseCAD.com (you design them yourself from templates matched to specific Pelican cases and they laser-cut the foam). I love 'em. Also have a 1550 for my TraqMate and ChaseCam and a 1300 series for my laptop.

Does that mean that you have one to spare?
