You should also check to see if the monitor sweep rate is generated from
the frequency of the incoming power.  Modern units shouldn't depend on
the input frequency, but you should check before you leave.

You will probably want to declare the whole system and provide the
appropriate serial numbers to the customs officials on arrival.  Some
places are particularly troublesome when you try to leave with a unit
not declared when you arrived.
