Ultralight DXing: New Radio Carry Case

Recently I have been looking for a good carry case for my ultralight radios. In the past I have used a couple of digital camera bags and cases with various levels of success.

After doing some research on a better way to carry these I had settled on a Pelican brand carry case (which was very expensive) until I was browsing at my local super cheap auto store where I came across a new range of cases they are stocking, the case I decided on was this model which is 1/6 the price of the equivalent Pelican brand model.

This cases fits my two ultralight radios, earphones, spare batteries, note pad and some pens.

Nice, neat job! Congratulations on finding the nice case for such a good price!

Curious...what is the purpose of the knob that is below the case's handle?

And what is the orange part (and the item strapped to it)...an antenna?

Thanks for the feedback.

The knob is for releasing the pressure in the case if it is taken in an aircraft.

The orange part is a 7.5” Loopstick Transplant Optimized for Medium Wave on the Tecsun PL-380.
