Not specifically, but I have brought lots of electronics and other odd 
items through in checked baggage.

TSA will definitely take a look, so I always include a friendly little 
note, right on top of the package, saying something like "Hi - These are 
parts for amateur radio. I purchased, checked and packed them myself," 
and signed clearly by name.

Every time I do that, the TSA inspection slip is right on top of the 
note, so they do read it. It can do no harm, and may do a lot of good.


(The only time I didn't include a note was with a circular saw blade. If 
they couldn't figure it out from the X-ray, there was nothing I could 
possibly say to help :-)
