Al. Radio Case.. Cheap!!

i found this from a different site but had to get one and do a write up on it

i got this al. case at Menards,in the hardware section, im sure other hardware stores will have them as well, it cost like $20...and it fit alot of stuff, it is wired up underneath the foam so i can plug my charger in directly
best of all its orginized

That is pretty neat. It definitely beats my bucket.

Very nice. You have the same set up I have - just a nicer case. I brought home a Dewalt screwdriver case to do the same thing with.

Does your charger get hot running with all the foam packed around it?

dont know yet, but when i charge my batterys at room temp. the fan on the power supply only kicks on the last 15min. of a one hour charge, ill post it up if i run into problems

Those generic cases are awesome! I got one from the LHS I work at for like $10 that's about half that size - it's PERFECT for my Nomadio React radio. Looks like yours will be very handy .

Do you by chance know how to set up the 989 to charge two NiCd's? My serial adaptor is set up right, it just seems that I cant get the settings right to make it charge them together.

i dont know on the charger , i have only charged my lipos , sorry

You can also find these cases at Home Depot, etc.. and Harbor Freight too. They don't always have the nice full foam though.

I have a couple of them... one for my radio and one I use for my laptop. :)
