I use an aluminum flight case, meant for cameras etc. It has a dense foam insert that holds the rig securely in place on all six sides, and is within the size limit for carry-on luggage. It's more obvious that I'm carrying something 'interesting' than if I were using a backpack or one of Rose's nice cases, but it's more protective against knocks from fellow passengers squeezing their linear amplifier transformers into the same overhead locker ... No worries with airport security so far. Mostly they are just interested to know what it is. I carry my amateur radio license paperwork with me in case they need more evidence, and I should probably take the Elecraft receipt too in case the customs people ever take an interest. 73 Gary ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
