By itself? Probably not. Mixed in with a metric shit ton of other stuff; maybe.
You could always put in carry on
Good travels!
Like that post was...
Moving on, my posts are not helpful
By itself? Nah. You'd pay almost as much for shipping as would to get a replacement at a hamfest.
eBay prices indicate that used working RS-35A's are going for $75 - 100, and up ( some people must think that we think they're made out of gold-plated latinum or something like that ), and shipping goes for $50 and up. RS-35M's are more. I've seen them sell at hamfests for $50 or less, no shipping, no sales tax, and as long as there's AC around somewhere, you have a chance to test it before you buy it.
That all said: If it's going in a large crate or container with other stuff, or as part of a truck load, it doesn't take up much room.

nah, it'd be going in a fedex or ups box. i have decent discounts, but it'd still cost a fortune to ship ... and more to make sure that it survived shipping.
what's getting shipped: smaller radios, cds, books. some other valuables. that's about it.

Understood.
Well, it's not like Astron's are exactly rare. I say sell it, then replace it with another one after you return. That's what I would do in the same circumstances. Even if you sell it for less than the replacement costs, it would still be less than what you'd pay in shipping.
