I have flown several times with a rig as carry on luggage. I always carry a rig manual and license (US plus destination license if going out of US, or CEPT language). Never had a problem. Worst case was having to put radio in plastic tub for X-ray plus explosive swab.
Sometimes, when beginning or ending a trip on a small-plane regional carrier, I have had to check my carry on luggage. But, a K-3 or smaller radio (in a soft bag) should fit under the seat and avoid that re-categorization as checked baggage. With a larger, hard-shell case, or inside a larger "carry-on" the bag with radio might have to go to the cargo hold. 73 de k3yd ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
