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,
