Carrying an IC-705

After having finished the red wine bottles contained in this wooden box, I customized it years ago for a perfect fit of my FT-817ND and my MFJ-941B antenna tunner inside, preconnected with each other, the external antenna connection, cw paddle cable, microphone cable and a pair of earbuds.

The hand microphone and the paddle go in the side compartment of the rucksack.

Now with the wooden lid on:

Everything inside an isothermal plastic bag for some protection in case of rain, although I’m not one of those activators going out under heavy rain conditions and wx in my area doesn’t change too fast.
I know this is not for IC-705, but you could well customize yourself something for your rig the same way I did for my rig years ago.
I’m very happy with what I did as it lets me activate without needing to take anything out of my rucksack and only needing to connect the external battery lead and the external antenna.
