FYI, the bag ususally needs to be substantially larger than the radio for it
to fit. I bought the AQ10 for my Icom M-15 radio, and it was a bit small,
so I ordered the AQ2 bag, which is larger (15.7 x 7.9 x4.9). The Icom M15
is listed as 2.4 x 5.9 x 1.7 (without antenna, ~12" w/antenna), so if your
radio is the same size or larger (I can't find the dimensions on your
particular Apelco), then you might want the larger bag.
