Hello again, Since I have been getting a large amount of mail asking for more information regarding my recent post about a friends HeathKit radio, I thought that I would post the info. over the net, so here it goes: The unit is a Heathkit HWS-24-HT and, from what he understands, it is made by Standard radio (model C500) in Tokyo Japan and imported to be sold/distributed here by HeathKit. The unit is only sold fully assembled (as it comes from Japan), and receives from 130-170Mhz and from 418-470Mhz. It stores 20 memory channels. What my friend is looking for is any advice or information that might be passed along to him (i.e. do's and don't for the radio); also he has heard that the radio can me modified for more memory and for the MARS/CAP frequencies. He has requested a service manual for the radio, but since it is new, Standard says that it will be some months before one is out; so if ANYONE has any information about the unit please send it to me and I will pass it along. Thank you, skoh@aludra.usc.edu
