Bob, You're welcome.
I thought you were looking for a relatively inexpensive, small (but not necessarily ultralight) portable with decent capabilities. Did I misunderstand or did the requirements change? I believe you said you were traveling to Peru. I would suggest to look into whether customs is going to hit you with a significant tax for bringing a relatively exotic piece of gear like that into the country, a problem I doubt you'd have with a small portable. Because seriously if you have the budget and space (and antenna facilities) for an R-70, you might consider an SDR instead to VASTLY increase your capturing/filtering/recording capabilities. This is assuming you are already bringing a suitable laptop. Best of luck on your trip and most of all, HAVE FUN!
