I would have preferred to use two K3's, but chose not to subject them to TSA
on the trip down (and back).  One I could hand-carry, but two is a bit much.
Checked luggage is a crap shoot with TSA now.  Even the TailTwister rotor,
new in the box, that I had inside a suitcase, had parts and accessories
removed from the factory packing and not returned but just tossed in the
suitcase.  I really don't want to subject my K3's to that kind of handling.

However, the ICOM 756ProII's that we have down here worked great.  Prior to
the K3, it was my favorite RTTY radio.  Ultimately, I'd like to have two
K3's down here permanently, but let's not start another K3 availability
thread over this comment!
