*It should go in you packed baggage. Some places get very funny about
radio equipment in carry-on luggage. It's definite no no in the middle
east where you could easily find yourself under interrogation if it's
found. > 73's Peter VK4JD*
I have travelled each year for some 15 years now from UK to VK and back
sometimes via Singapore, Bangkok, but mostly Dubai. Radio gear has been
carried everytime without problem. a 70cm/2m handy has been on my person
each trip. Last 7 years my K3 has been the bulk of my cabin luggage. No
problems but occasional query to look at it or check for explosives/ drugs
whatever. never been asked for a licence. Ger in yourcabin luggage means
you can keep it under observation. Better than insurance I reckon.!
Agreed, certain countries have a phobia about photography *and* Radio.
Having passed (overland) through 15 African countries with such equipment I
am aware, but keep calm, look happy and dont press anyone. Commonsense
and Patience are a virtue, !!
Been there and have the tee shirt etc
