[Elecraft] Trip to Canada

[Kirby Nesbitt]

Actually.. you will have an issue. "K2" is an official registered 
"brand" used on cattle from a particular ranch here in AB. It is 
registered with US customs at all border crossings. If the radio is less 
than 32 months old you might get it back in,  but theres really no 
guarantee.
