should not be a problem, I take a couple of handheld scanners and a
large shortwave (sony-2010) with me when I travel all the time

I sometimes need to explain why the 2010 has two sets of batteries but
other than that no problems.... I also take a coil of wire and some
alligator clips with me to use as the shortwave antenna
