Some of my radios came with cases and some didn’t. When I grab a few to take to the pond or the park for testing, I put the radios in their cases or another radio’s case to keep them from getting scratched up. I also use the lock buttons/switches to keep them from coming on during transport. Then upon arrival I take the radios out of the cases, turn off the locks, use the radios, turn on the locks, put the radios in their cases, come home, take the radios back out of their cases and unlock them. It just takes time.
I thought I would make some custom cases that would hold more than one radio and that would prevent them from accidentally coming on. A product on AliExpress looked promising:
It’s designed for a walkie talkie, but I can make my own custom insert to fit in its size of 8.3 x 6.7 inches. The cost of the case is $8.19 (I ordered 3). I could easily get three small radios in there, like the Raddy RF75A, Raddy RF760, HanRongDa HRD-701, Tecsun PL-118 and a Tecsun Q3, or two larger ones. Plus I can make a case for the Grundig G4000A. It’s just an experiment. I ordered some foam inserts from Amazon.
Online videos say I can cut the foam with an electric carving knife.
