[Elecraft] RES: TS-990

[EricJ]

My old TS-930S was 40 lbs and dominated the top of an executive desk. I 
recently weighed my K2/10 and K2/100, both heavily accessorized. 
Together, they are a few ounces short of 10 lbs. Never again.

I had not paid any attention to the size and weight specs of the rig when I ordered it.  It was so huge, there was no room for anything on the front of the operating desk once the 950 was in place.  I boxed it up and sent it back.  I was stronger then but knew that I would (hopefully) be growing old and would need help moving that beast.
