Re: [Elecraft] K3 as hand luggage
My experience with the K3 as hand luggage has been good. I have been taking my K3 to and from Aruba for 2 1/2 years. At SFO, about half the time I have to take it out of the backpack for it to be checked. They then swab it briefly for explosives and usually run it through the x-ray machine again. This has never been a problem, other than causing a slight delay. On Aruba, it's just gone through both their local search and the separate TSA search without causing any comment. I never take it out of the backpack to put in a separate bin. 73, andy, ae6y __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 as hand luggage
I believe that TSA requires laptops, digital movie cameras, and "other large electronics items" to be removed from their carrying cases and placed in a separate bin to go through xray. practices vary a little from airport to airport, but it certainly does not hurt to at least inform TSA what's in your hand luggage and ask them if it should be removed. No matter what, you can count on having the bag and radio take aside to be wiped down and tested for explosives. that has happened to me every time I have carried any ham radio through security, even a little 2-meter mobile unit. if you check the radio, inform TSA what's in the bag when you hand it over to them. This is not required but reduces hassles. if you have any problems with an inspector, ask them to call a supervisor. lew k6lmp On Apr 19, 2010, at 5:42 AM, N2TK, Tony wrote: > I have a wheeled carrier for my K3 and laptop.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 as hand luggage
I have a wheeled carrier for my K3 and laptop. Take both out for the x-ray machine. No problems to date.
