I wonder what size of rig is really acceptable to the _REAL_ Radio Ham when
you consider that the RACAL RA17 was a large 19" rack model, and
when you take into consideration the footprint of desktop PC's that have
been welcomed so recently into a number of shacks?

Give me a steel chassis - 3' wide and 2' deep, with a 20 lb power
transformer, a 15 lb modulation transformer, a 5 lb audo output
transformer, and a dozen or so octal based tubes.

----- or, a BC-610 and an HRO-50.

HI!HI!
