[Elecraft] How do you travel with the K2?

[Lyle Johnson]

> Best bet, don't travel with a radio. PERIOD !!

Last year I took my K2 to Western Australia.  It was in my carry-on on 
the way over, and in my checked baggage on the way back.  I flew 
domestically and internationally on that trip since OZ isn't served from 
Seattle.

Zero problems.

In hundreds of international flights pre- and tens post-9/11, this has 
almost never been an issue.  When it was, a careful, calm reaction to 
questions always resulted in being able to take the equipment, either on 
board or checked.  Only once did I have to work my way past an obstinate 
person, and that was hand-carrying a satellite (AO-51) to a launch 
facility (Aeroflot to Moscow) enroute to Kazhakstan.

I *have* had things stolen from my locked, checked baggage, but that was 
when I went to *very* 3rd world places.
