[UK-CONTEST] Radio in hand luggage by Air?

[Don Beattie]

I've never had any problems, Deni. I always carry the Tx/Rx "carry-on" and 
it is rarely questioned. It's useful to have a copy of your licence 
available at security in case there are questions.

The only thing I've met is importing into some countries, where they can 
want to see your licence for that country.

Good luck

Don, G3BJ
