As a radio enthusiast with a penchant for organization, finding the perfect case for my gear is always an adventure. My current go-to? The Tassie Devil Radio Case, purchased from Supercheap Auto for a modest $8.95. It’s a budget-friendly solution that has turned out to be a near-perfect fit for my needs.

What Fits Inside?

This case offers ample room for my essential radio gear:

  • Baofeng UV-17
  • Digitech DC-1068 wideband UHF
  • Uniden 0.5W UHF CB
Beyond the radios, it also accommodates:

  • Chargers and accessories
  • Earphones
  • Aerial testing gear
  • A notepad and pen
For such a low cost case, it’s surprisingly spacious, letting me pack everything I need for a day of UHF band monitoring, DXing, or general communication.


Custom Modifications

To make it even more functional, I added a timber divider, wrapped in tape for durability and a snug fit. This divider:

  • Keeps my two larger radios securely in place.
  • Features custom-cut slots, allowing me to store the radios with their aerials attached.
This small modification means I can quickly grab and go, without the hassle of screwing aerials on and off. The dividers are also removable, which allows me to reconfigure the interior as needed, depending on the setup or gear I’m carrying that day.


High WAF (Wife Approval Factor)

One of the unexpected perks of this case is its high Wife Approval Factor (WAF). My wife appreciates how it keeps all my gear neatly stored and out of sight. No more scattered chargers, tangled earphones, or misplaced radios—it all lives in one compact, organized space. For me, this is a win.
