[50mhz] [Yaesu] Radios in carry on luggage

[Mike KL6M]

Hi John,

I routinely carry a FT-857 in my carry-on briefcase.  Never had a problem.
 I did, however have a BIG problem when I packed it in checked luggage,
and my bag was stolen never to be found.  An of course, no reimbursement
for radios by airline.  MAN was that painful.

So I have carried it on ever since.  Just pull it out and put it next to
your laptop in the plastic tray, or maybe a separate tray.  But I
recommend putting it in the open to them.  TSA has never even asked me
what it was.
