[Elecraft] KX3 in International carry-on luggage?

[Mike Markowski]

Somewhat along those lines, at work our Keysight tech rep (formerly 
Agilent, formerly HP) was driving to a customer location and had a 
backseat full of electronic lab measurement equipment.  He said the LO 
in something set off a police radar-detector detector, and radar 
detectors are illegal in the state he was in.  After being pulled over 
he was certain the cop would see a back seat full of cables, high tech 
gadgets, and think he was up to no good.  He told the cop he didn't have 
a radar detector and they could go through the equipment to find the one 
that set off his detector.  The cop looked at all the gear and just said 
to keep driving.  :-)

73,
