[Elecraft] kx1 on airlines

[B. Scott Andersen]

Don,

I have traveled with my KX1 quite a bit and have never
had a problem. It is in a small Pelican case along with
paddles, ear phones, etc. I just tell them it is a radio.
I cannot remember ever turning it on to prove it.

Since the XRay machine will not be able to peer into it,
it will almost certainly be hand checked. But, other than
the inconvenience and a few extra minutes, you should
have no trouble (says me). Oh, and I do have a copy
of my license (laminated) in with it. A few (not many,
but a few) know what it is and what it means.

Safe travels.
