[Elecraft] KX3 in International carry-on luggage?

[allen Montoye]

I took my Kx2 on 6 flights this year. Two international. Only twice did a tsa official even open the waterproof box it was in.  And that was a newbie who just stared at it for a while until her supervisor took a quick look at it and said “okay” it was fine to carry on.  The airlines publish on their websites the specs on the size of lithium batteries that can be carried on. The specs are given in Watts. The 2600 ma elecraft  batteries are well below that.
