antennas. They are great for traveling, as the airlines don't blink an eye, because they are very common. Even if we used the smallest one, usually we hit 70 lbs (old weight limit for bags) well before we filled up the volume of the case. I suspect (but cannot guarantee) you will be OK with the 9" radius case for the C3/4. The 9" case goes for around $100- 125 at discount shops or websites. BTW, the case weighs around 12 lbs. If you don't know, you can no longer lock your suitcase on checked luggage. If you do, TCS will force the lock open if they want to inspect the case. The SKB lock/latch was never the sturdiest in the first place... even before TCS set this rule, we would always encircle the case to cover the latch to prevent accidential opening. I would strongly suggest that you do this for all 3 locks. The cases generally hold up well after repeated travels w/ 70lb loads. In the dozen or so cases we've purchased over the years, I think 2 were damaged enough where the airline paid to fix/replace it.
