HEATHKIT


So what's the deal with Heathkit? They are like the Indian Motorcycle of the Ham world. Is it bad business management, or is it just a brand everybody loves but nobody buys?
 
Thanks Doc: Just filled out my survey....

Hope they are for real...this time!:pop:
All the Best:D

"This time". Yeah Heathkit did this exact same thing a few years ago and nothing, I mean NOTHING ever came of it. The name Heathkit and all the intellectual properties that goes with it have neen sold so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a return of the Heathkit line.
 
Completed the survey some interesting questions, I would love seeing Heathkit return to the amateur radio market. My top requests were for a updated version of the venerable SB-220 and HW-101, a simple non-menu driven HF transceiver. Hope they're serious this time, rumors of Heathkit's return comes up every year or so and nothing happens.
