I have always tried to keep my radio equipment with me as carry-on; this
keeps the thieves and lost luggage at bay. When I had a 756 Pro, it fit
nicely in my airline roll aboard and the power supply was right beside
it. I could still carry the headset and key so I ALWAYS arrived with
full operating station. Yo Yo antenna and 50 ft of RG8X included. The K3
is smaller than the 756 series so I will continue with this game plan.
The use of Pelican and/or Halliburton just 'screams' out that something
valuable is inside and 'steal me'. another reason I never use
Pelican/Halliburton unless absolutely necessary (Acom 1000) is those
case(s) arouse the curiosity of customs
I have 2 Pelicans, one for Acom 1000 (tough to load on the employee bus
if trying to steal) and a cute little Pelican for the K2 plus
accessories. That one I only use when I put the K2 in storage or when
transporting by car for local operations.
Hopefully you will never experience theft nor lost baggage.
