I carried on a KX3 (#33) with a MFJ-1899 antenna. From CDN their only concern was that the antenna was not a police club. On the return trip from the US, not even a blink.

I was able to put it and all the cables I needed into my carry-on, which was just my regular attache/brief case. I attached a copy of my license to the top of the rig. I had the rig and power cable. I didn't have a power supply because I was renting a vehicle and driving back home (bizarre business trip - I'll tell you the gory details off-list if you really want to know). Anyway, TSA didn't even give the rig and cabling a second look. As to antennas, because this was a trip to one of my company's offices in Metro DC, I just shipped my antennas, mounts, and other necessaries ahead to one of my co-workers. Don't know if that is an option for you or not. Hope this helps. 73, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua km4ik....@gmail.com K3 #281, P3 #688 HRD v5.x/6.0 Test Team On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 1:24 PM, Ronald Nutter <ron.nut...@networkref.com>wrote: > I will be doing some travelling and plan on taking a QRP station with > me.
