After westling with a BC-640, it occurs to me that this is the heavest
transmitter I have had the pleasure to man handle.  601.5 pounds per the
book for 50 watts out!  That is 12 pounds per watt!  Efficiency is even
better (worse) at 5.8% (50/860)!  I know the Navy likes big and beefy, so
there is no sence asking about shipboard equipment, but does anyone know
of another ground radio that is heavier for less power output then the
BC-640?
