I have never had any problems taking my Arrow in my checked-in luggage to
Russia, the EU or Belarus. see http://www.andythomas.eu
But Russia, Ukraine and Belarus require a customs declaration about "high
frequency radios" so I have always used local hams' radios for the fm
satellites in these countries.
Within the EU I take the handheld with me in carry-on luggage with a full
battery to be able to switch it on, and at check in tell the airline I'm happy
to show it to the pilot (or anyone else!!). I separate the battery from the HT
for the xray and offer to connect and switch on if asked.
I carry a full licence with me and I have a photocopy licence in my checked-in
luggage, the first thing you would see when it's opened, and the luggage is
unlocked.
