Hello Folks,
Going on a trip and was wondering what kind of hassle I would get if I packed my KX1 in my baggage. Would it look like a "bomb"? Was thinking of putting a copy of my amatuer ticket on the box. But I bet no one there knows what a ham radio operator is. Is it worth the trouble? Don...w2xb |

Pack it in your shoe so they don't find it. What they don't know won't
hurt 'em, right? ... :-) My guess is you'd be fine if it was checked. Do people carry MP3 players onboard? If they can bring that or a walkman, you'd think a similar sized ham rig would be OK. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- Going on a trip and was wondering what kind of hassle I would get if I packed my KX1 in my baggage.

Don,
I have traveled with my KX1 quite a bit and have never had a problem. It is in a small Pelican case along with paddles, ear phones, etc. I just tell them it is a radio. I cannot remember ever turning it on to prove it. Since the XRay machine will not be able to peer into it, it will almost certainly be hand checked. But, other than the inconvenience and a few extra minutes, you should have no trouble (says me). Oh, and I do have a copy of my license (laminated) in with it. A few (not many, but a few) know what it is and what it means. Safe travels. -- Scott (NE1RD)

My understabnding of what they are looking for in checked baggage, using
either dogs or instruments, is the extremely low-concentration outgassing from explosive materials. I don't think your KX-1 would trouble anyone in the least.

It wasn't a KX1, but I recently carried my K2 (including the internal
SLA battery option) in my carry-on bag, and had no problems going round trip San Francisco/Orlando. Best protocol is to take it out of your bag and put it in one of the plastic bins, just like you'd do for a laptop computer. That way, you're "declaring" it, rather than causing them to want to dig in to your bag just to see what in the heck that little box really might be. In SFO, they did tell me that they wanted to scan it twice, but didn't ask any other questions. Nothing said at all in Orlando. FWIW, there should be no problems carrying a gell-cell or SLA-type battery as long as it's installed in the equipment. Same should apply to the battery pack for your KX1, unless you're doing something more, um, custom. I've always carried loose AA-size batteries with no issues. There ARE quite a few ham things--mostly homebrew gear--that I would not try to take through airline security these days. They are extremely suspicious of any thing that doesn't look "commercial build" quality, ie handbuilt "don't know what this thing is" kind of stuff! BTW, I had my little PAC-12 antenna in a checked suitcase, which got inspected by Homeland Security on both legs of the trip (as evidenced by the little paper "calling card" they leave inside the bag). On the return leg, the dim bulb inspector couldn't figure out how my "TSA approved" lock on the suitcase was supposed to unlatch, so he broke it and the latch on my suitcase getting it open! I thought it was unusual that they'd inspect it on both legs of the trip, until it dawned on me that the loading coils for the antenna are basically PVC pipe sections with wire wound around the outside, and metal caps on each end. Uh oh--pipe bomb!! Guess I'll carry a dipole or doublet next time! 73, Dave K7DAA http://www.k7daa.com On Apr 22, 2008, at 12:52 PM, Darwin, Keith wrote: > Pack it in your shoe so they don't find it.

Don:
Be sure to bring along ur owner's manual (fer the value of the photo of the on the cover). Next be sure to have at some lite-weight headphones handy. Also bring along along some small battery setup (9v shud do it) which you can plug in *only* if asked. I wud stay away from any internal batteries until the thru security. What I have just just suggested might well enable you to get thru security somewhere--if some agent asks you turn on your radio, etc., and you have long ago packed your larger battery in your checked luggage (g).

I've traveled with my K3 and had it in my carryon luggage, they never
even asked what it was. Now, my Begali paddle, that was another story. It's got a Palladium base and apparently the xray can't see through it or something. Anyhow, it took 3 agents to finally figure that one out and approve it. :) -Jeff N6GQ On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 12:48 PM, Blachura <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Hello Folks, > Going on a trip and was wondering what kind of hassle I would get if I > packed my KX1 in my baggage.

Last year we flew from Portland (OR) to San Francisco, on to New York, and then on to Frankfurt and Tel Aviv and return, with stopovers in each city. I had my ICOM HT in my carry-on bag and was not questioned nor detained through all the screenings, nor was I asked to take my shoes off except in the US airports. What they are looking for in the US appears to be illegal and dangerous stuff like tubes of toothpaste and bottles of mouthwash as well as fresh fruit or sandwiches with ketchup and mayonnaise - the really dangerous stuff. I've been around real security screening at sensitive installations and the airline security screening in the US is a joke. The "foreigners" appear to know how to do it right and at much less of a hassle to the travelers. Next time I may even take my K2 with me.... <ggg> -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Be careful about batteries in both carry on and checked luggage. There have been changes in the rules concerning batteries - particularly what and how much can be carried/checked.

Took a KX1 to Maui last October inside a carry-on camera case containing
2 paddles, 4 coils of antenna wire, 4 coils of ground-plane wire, batteries, and several other red-flag items guaranteed to make their day. As I walked through the screening arch I had license, manual, and invoice documents in hand ready to show TSA. The camera case and my body went through all their machines with no questions asked, both at St. Louis and at Los Angeles. The only suspicions I manage to raise was checking into ECN with a wire going into the tree above me while I sat on a chaise lounge mere feet from the ocean surf. A hotel security guard stopped his golf-cart, flashed me a big smile, and asked if he could help. I replied, "Don't need any help but I'll bet you're curious as hell as to what I'm doing." He flashed another mahalo smile and yes, "yup." A quick mention of the word "ham radio" brought his hand into the air with a dismissive "good luck" as he rapidly drove off.

Many times, carry one radios are "swiped" with a small pad that is then tested for whatever should not show up. Checked bags with radios are many times opened and checked. The bad news of this the re-packing of the radio is sometimes haphazard and not as good as you did. I am called on to fly with ham radio, video cameras, and laptop computer.... which should I check because they all can not go in carry-on? In Delhi, the bag guys stole the camera and computer but I was carrying the radio.... Delta Airlines who refused to replace anything.

I travel with my KX1 in a small Pelican case on a regular basis.
The radio has lithium batteries installed. The case includes the paddle, the banana plug adapter, antenna wire and headphones. I have a copy of my license stuffed in the back, between the colored liner and the clear outer case. I would *not* check mine, for fear that it wander off. I usually travel with a rat's nest of stuff in my backpack, and am rarely bothered. I *have* learned to use small zipper lock bags to keep the stuff separate for my own sanity! 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I find it very contradictory that I cannot take my small,
pocket knife (blade maybe 1 to 2 inches long or so), but I can take sharp pointed, metal scissors on board so long as they are less than 4 inches! As for batteries, I've never had them question those. I carry several for use with my ATS3 QRP rig. Usually I just carry AA's, but on occasion I have carried a 12V 5 amp hour battery on board, and they said nothing about it.

Here is a link to information about batteries and airline travel:

We've been pointing to this from our website (at work) since we manufacture battery powered devices and our customers have been confused by recent rule changes.
