Well, The word is out, an AR-88 weighs in heavier than an R-390!(not by much...) I have 2 '88's and a CR-91A. My back start hurting just looking at them, but worth every pound! Ross W1EKG ----- Original Message ----- Wonder if he can carry the AR-88 with one hand and an SX-28 in the other? Jim, W5JO
