The Classic FT-980CAT (I have two still) has a carrying strap. I carried
mine to my second home on St. Simons Island, GA (IOTA 058). I would guess
the FT-980 as being close to 60 pounds as it is an early FT-1000 sans the
second VFO. You use tunable memories!
I also carried one to multi op stations for the CQ WW twice in the late
80's.
You would not want to lug the transceiver to a Dxpedition. (probably can't
lug much gear at all after the recent events in England).
