My K2 has the internal lead acid battery option, however to avoid any possible issues I take the battery out and leave it at home... This also lessens the weight considerably.
I have travelled to Spain and Portugal from East Midlands and Doncaster Sheffield (Finningley) airports to Alicante and Faro without a single query or issue with both a K1 and a K2. The K1 is powered from a 10 cell external battery pack housed in a plastic project box with internal self resetting fuse, the K2 from a switched mode PSU. The last trip was April this year from Finningley to Alicante on Ryanair. The airlines are not the issue, the security screening people at the airports are the issue. Take the radio in your hand luggage together with your licence. (longer reply sent off the forum) 73 Dave, G4AON -------------------------------- Advice please - I'm flying within Europe shortly with a K2. Do I pack it in suitcase (hold) or carry-on? Any problem with the SLA battery? What about paperwork? Is it likely to cause concern at the airports?
