Hey Dennis ....

The K3 will fit in a Pelican 1510 - about 1/4" of foam on each side, but 
that should be good enough for carry on - as long as you can keep it in 
sight or in the overhead.  But I would not want baggage handlers 
anywhere to touch it!
And you could probably get a switching power supply in the 1510 with it.
The 1520 with a 1527 might be good to check in, but it doesn't look like 
it has wheels to pull through airports like the 1510 does.
A 1527 alone looks like it might be about the same as a Rose Kopp case. 
  I used a Rose Kopp case to take take my K3 to Nicaragua and was fairly 
apprehensive any time anyone came close to it!  It is a very nice case 
for traveling by car or to Field Day etc but not on an airplane.
This winter if I take the K3 again it will go carry on in a 1510 with 
wheels.
