This is the one!  It is lightweight and comes with a switching PS.  Perfect.
One of our group called Ameritron today and they are going to supply one or
two for our trip.  If we like them, we have an option to purchase at
DXpedition (reduced) price.  What a deal!

Thanks for all of the feedback.

12 pounds, will run off 15a 110v AC outlet,  good resale value and lots of
buyers when you get tired of if.  160-10 with mode kit tube amp shipping on
airlines now is very questionable with the cheap outsourced baggage handling
companies a 77SX won'g go carry on, but the ALS600 will add 32 Mhz cutoff
low pass tx filter on output of amp and a RX bandpass filter on transceiver
