When I travel to other US army bases I bring my K1 along because fantastic antennas are often available. I still bring a wire antenna, though, if I'm on my own. I went with the 4-band K1, backlight, stand, and also picked up Paddlettes and a Soviet leg-strap straight key.
If you'll be traveling at all with yours, I recommend a little case. I got a Pelican 1000 - plenty of room - free as part of some promotion which you can see with my K1 at http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/k1ToGo.jpg Sorry the pic is a little dark. If you'll be flying include your FCC license. (I hard-laminated mine.) It can help depending on who checks it out. 73, Mike ab3ap On 07/21/2012 02:39 PM, Gil G. wrote: > Great.
