Well, I guess the Kenwood TS-990S that I just unpacked doesn't qualify, even by virtue of its 54-pound weight. :-)
No tubes, less than 75 pounds, and no place to tie a rope.

P.S. I haven't defected from Elecraft. The K3S that I ordered at the Huntsville Hamfest is waiting for a clear place so that I can assemble it.
Still have the K1, K2, K3/10 and KX3.

One thing which is seriously missing from the definition and that is a boat anchor must have a place to tie a rope which then becomes an anchor line. With no place to tie a rope, the item is merely ballast. There are some of the new radios that fall into both of these categories and thus should be used accordingly.

Gary,

By definition, a boat anchor has vacuum tubes that glow, and have to be more than 40 years old (my definition). Ohhh, and they need to include a power transformer which gives them enough weight to allow them to sink to the bottom of the lake.
