I don't have a K2, but I have carried my FT-817 plus a small 35w amp and mic in my briefcase or carry-on bag with no notice by TSA. I also carry a laptop with Lithium battery (no problems).
Several years ago I carried a pelican case with home-made radio equipment and the only thing I was questioned on was the sealed-acid (gel) battery. They didn't want to allow it on the plane, until one inspector noted my business card attached to the radio indicating my business was radio communications. I had mentioned the equipment was for demo at a conference. They allowed it because they figured I needed it for my business trip (I was heading to a ham conference - which I did not point out). This was pre-TSA. I would never attempt to take that home-built microwave radio on a plane, today. If I want to have it on a trip I have to UPS it ahead to my hotel (costing me >$100 each way). Most of the time I leave it home. It was designed specifically to take on trips. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-100w, 1296-60w, 3400-?
