A question for my Marine Brethren in the Radio Battalions, I damn near got a Hernia moving KW-7s with another Sailor one of us holding a handle moving them from CINCPACFLT to FICPAC. Are these things really Man Portable? Seem awful heavy for Portable Equipment.

KW-7? Showing your age there PO1. I believe the KW-7 was easy carrying compared to the KG-14 and the KWR-37. Good exercise though.
