Tom,
Without answering the question directly: I took my K3 to Aruba for
CQWW wrapped in bubble wrap inside a small shipping box, inside a
regular suitcase. Steve, K6AW, took his to the Galapagos, also
wrapped in bubble wrap, in a backpack as carry-on luggage. Both
seemed to survive fine.
This was a heck of a lot easier than taking an FT1000D down to Aruba!
I took my K3 to Grenada for CQWW as carry on in a Zero-Halliburton
case that I had picked up several years ago at a hamfest. It held
the radio, a switching power supply, cables and more. It fit in the
overhead compartment, as well as under the seat when necessary. The
case is 14 1/2" x 16 1/2" x 9" outside dimensions. Coincidentally, I
have another much smaller Z-H case for my KX1. But I found that the
KX1 was so small that it was better off just bubble wrapped in
regular suitcase or carryon camera case when I travelled overseas with it.
