[Hallicrafters] SX-101 weight

[pete wokoun, sr.]

Yes, there's lots of heavy stuff out there, but my point with the sx101 was: 
  it's just a receiver and the chassis has lots of open space.  Some of 
those other heavy weights are just filled with stuff.  Like, there's very 
little open chassis on my SX28...it looks heavy.  But hey, if you can lift 
it with one hand, it ain't a boatANCHOR.

Is that R-155U just a receiver???
