Re: Toshiba RP-F11

John,
Methinks I may have muddied the waters a bit. Sorry for all the confusion, especially coming from a newbie to the group like myself. I think the folks at Universal Radio are the ones that are confused. The dimensions I used for the RP-F11 in my first e-mail came from this page: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/RPF11.html which are "5.1 x 3.1 x 1.1 inches" or 17.391 cubic inches. But, like you discovered, another click to this page: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/RPF11s.html reveals another set of dimensions which are "7.8 x 4.5 x 1.325 inches" or 46.5075 cubic inches, which completely blows it out of the water as being an UL radio. So, I dug through Fibber McGee's closet and found my very own RP-F11 and measured it. Here are my findings: 7.625 x 4.5 x 1.25 inches, or 42.89 cubic inches. Bottom Line - NOT QUALIFIED as an Ultralight. So, once again, sorry for making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm just happy that all of this got me motivated to dig my RP-F11 out of the "Radio Archives." BTW - The RP-F11 was also sold as the Kenwood R-11 in certain parts of the world. Thanks, everybody, for humouring me and not flaming me as would have happened in other not-to-be-named radio reflectors. 73 & Great DX, Steve N5WBI Houston TX
