I'm actually sitting in the airport, just before 5:30am as I write this post. I'm traveling for work today, but like I always do, I'm taking Radio stuff with me!
I actually reorganized my packing for this trip. Firstly, my big stuff and work equipment I broke down into 2 cases, because I found out (after 2 years of doing this!) that it is cheaper to check 2 bags at 50lbs each, then to check 1 overweight bag. That means this trip is costing less for baggage, and I could bring a couple extra bits and pieces!

I also re-organized my "personal item" that I carry on the plane with me. It's a standard case, but slightly bigger than the laptop sized one I used to carry. This lets me be a little more organized with my stuff, and actually makes it easier to pop the body of my 867d in and out of the box quicker, since it has to go through the x-ray machine in it's own tray. The new layout is organized like this:
- Top layer: 857d Radio body, hand mic, rig runner 4004u, and a box with all the interconnection wires for everything in this case.
- Bottom layer: signalink USB interface, MFJ Power Supply, LDG YT-100 tuner, radio faceplate
It's all tucked in there with pick-n-pluck foam to keep things nice and cozy!
