I haven't tried to carry a K2 on a plane but I have carried other electronic gear through TSA security. TSA likes any complicated piece of electronics (like the K2) to be put in a separate bin. If you pull it out of the case and send it through the X-ray machine separate that will make it easier for them to screen.

Do I pack it in suitcase (hold) or carry-on? Any problem with the SLA battery? What about paperwork? Is it likely to cause concern at the airports? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
