Hey guys , a little bit of exaggeration here. I have a PRC-10 here complete 
with harness and it weighs about 10-12 pounds max. It is operational and a 
has a converter for using a 6 volt lead-acid battery.  Add maybe 1 or 2 
pounds for a original zinc cell battery. just my obbservations- Jon AB9AH
