Foam for Transmitter Case

[Del K. Rykert]

I have found suitable foam in Arts/Craft stores and Fabric stores that would work in this application.

  I went to an upholstery shop and bought a block of foam used for sofa cushions and cut it with a band saw.

  Then, I cut in from the side and cut out the outline of the transmitter and a few pockets for assorted junk.

  Jon, try a camera store.  They usually carry foam blocks for use in camera cases which is basically what our TX cases are.

    I'm looking for the grey or black low density open cell foam, a solid 
    block, to use in the bottom half of a transmitter case.  I've tried 
    McMaster Carr and some other suspects, but short of spending $45, I've 
    not found anything.  Anyone have any leads to a low cost source?

    Thanks!
