I love my IC-705, it’s a really great portable radio. It sits at my desk during the day listening to broadcast stations, scanning local airbands frequencies, or listening for HF DX.

I also enjoy taking it with me for weekend mornings at a local park, for weekend getaways, etc. It doesn’t feel like a real sturdy traveler, with the exposed knobs and the large screen though. Luckily I had a chance to buy a case for a really good deal from Nomatic (https://www.nomatic.com/products/accessory-case).

I’ve been eyeing this one, but the price had been very high. They sent me an offer for a blemished product and I jumped on it. It arrived today and the fit is perfect. Take a look:

It fits snugly without feeling compressed. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good travel case for your IC-705.

We started this little event on our street at the beginning of COVID times. I think it’ll stick around longer than the virus. Hopefully we can expand the size in the future.
