There may be a difference between importing and register of a transmitter in
any one country or another and just passing thru with it.
I have taken my IC 706 thru several countries where it may or may not be
allowed but separate it into 2 parts and move on thru the airports to
another destination. Staying somewhere with it is another matter for
individual discretion, of course.
Countries I know about with limits on carrying transmitters into their
borders....
Thailand
Burma
Lao (Laos)
Cambodia
India
Bhutan
Nepal
just to name a few.
Why are nations nervious abt xmitters in private hands? Well, fighters in
Burma are reported to use ham rigs for military traffic. Certainly, the ham
bands in SEAsia are cluttered with non-licensed operations using ham rigs
for private telephone-like use. Sometimes more of that on 20m more than
licensed ham uses! At least they use the "other" sideband.
