Just purchased hand held vhf radio, based on advise from forumites earlier. Only problem is I have to get this on a plane in hand luggage. Will I have problems with security??? anyone done this recently?

I carried one and an Auto LJ to Greece two years ago.No problems.

Why does it have to go in hand baggage? I am guessing you dont have any hold baggage?

yep, was planning on hand baggage only. I cant see why they should object as I guess its the same as a mobile phone?

I suspect they might get sniffy - a mobile phone works on a very high frequency and puts out tiny amounts of power but your VHF is probably close to some aviation frequencies and can kick out 5W.

The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, and is not preceded by a period of worry and doubt.
