[Elecraft] The K3 at airports

[Ralph Parker]

>Does anyone have experience carrying a K3 and power supply through the TSA

I hand-carried #1827 in a Pelical 1510 from SEA to VP5 a couple of years
ago, and to PJ6 last month, with nary a hassle. Passed right through the
Xray machine mostly without comment - only once did anyone want to have a
closer look.

The 1510 is a max-legal size case, with only room for 1/4" of foam on each
side of the radio, once I removed the handle and the feet. The front and
back had lots of room for a p/s, headset, paddles.

I would have used my new Rose case, but the last leg of the trip was in a
Twin Otter, and I had to surrender the case to the baggage dept (at the
airplane).
If you can carry the K3 with you all the time, Rose is the way to go.
