Hi Chris,

It's hard for me to judge.  It looks similar to the Earthmate serial
receiver in terms of size, different shape, though.  Of course, this one is
wireless and that's why I'm excited.  I assume all of these receivers will
fit into a pocket or on one's belt.
Best Regards,

Les

Hi Les,
how big would you say it is?
