If the Algerian customs people find you taking a HF radio into the country, they will have a shit-hemorrhage!
I worked there for several years, they gave us problems because we had an HF radio installed in our aircraft, and we were never able to import a HF base station or mobile station to allow communication with the aircraft whilst in flight.
They seem to be very concerned that "rebels" will steal the HF radio, and thus have access to high technology.
Bottom line: If you are carrying a HF with you in your vehicle, do your best to make it look like a ghetto blaster or a CD player or something like that, anything other than a radio that could transmit.
