Regarding the K4’s weight

[wayne burdick]

In response to an earlier question:  

The K4 weighs only ~10 lbs (4.5 kg) because of its aluminum matrix construction. The four internal shield panels are secured together, as well as to the exterior chassis panels. This forms a rigid, lightweight mechanical web that resists flexing, like the frame of an aircraft. In contrast many other transceivers use a heavy, cast interior frame.

Speaking of which, I don’t suppose you have a topless photo to share? Of the
K4 I meant :)
