I Moved my gates BC-1H by myself in a ford F-150 Van. if you remove the transformers. The total weight is around 550-600lbs Pictures Of it in my van and in its new home. can be seen at http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/wttm/gates.html
I have not yet worked on it been busy with the day job. what Band do you plan on using it on 160 or 75? or both. I have heard of guys getting the BC-1h as a triband rig 40-75 and 160 Sounds like too much work and modifications. Stay in touch..
