[Elecraft] Taking KX3 on Airlines -Any issues/hassles with TSA/etc there days - with Bio-Engg 12V 7Ah Lithium Battery as Carry On Luggage

[Doug Turnbull]

Dear OMs and YLs,
     I have travelled across Europe and from USA to Europe with a KX2 and
had no problems - no one commented except the TSA man in JFK seemed to have
been an SWL and commented on how small they were making radios these days.
Surprisingly they did not want me to turn the radio on though I did have it
out of the carryon and on display.   Go for it and do not worry.   

     Take the battery in the radio and remove them when you get to KH6 a
charge only takes two hours so there is no big deal in this; a big advantage
over my KX3.  I had a second batter stored in the LowPro carry case and this
caused no concern - I would have given them the battery if it was a problem.
Enjoy your trip.

                         73 Doug EI2CN

I've brought my KX2 with internal battery numerous times within CONUS. not
sure if Hawaii is any different. Don't have batteries for my KX3, but I did
travel to Europe several times as carry on in pelican case without incident.
