azgreed I did not want to putthe radio in checked baggage...since just
one of my radios costs over $600 I prefer to keep that with me if
possible you have to pay a little bit for good ham, scanner, and
shortwave equipemt. I do sometimes have to explain to security what they
are.. often if I let them listen to something they (security) are
satisifed...

So you wanted attention, walking around an airport with some type of
handheld radio. Sounds like you need to pack that stuff and live without it
for a few hours, sorta like not smoking in airports.


I don't know, personally I wouldn't want to leave anything of any
significant value in my checked baggage. Too much likelihood of theft.
