Thanks for writing.  The HW-5400 does not have a built-in AC supply.  It
weighs 24 pounds running 12 volts.  The companion supply was a bruiser,
weighing in at an astonishing 39 pounds (but does include a clock).

Thanks for the clarification.  The K2 is 3 pounds sans battery, and the 3
amp-hour battery adds another 3 pounds or so.
