HEATHKIT IS BACK In The Kit Business!

In late August, Heathkit will debut their new line of Do-it-Yourself
kits for common around-the-house items. The first kit will be a Garage
Parking Assistant (GPA). The Garage Parking assistant kit lets you
build your own system that uses ultrasonic sound waves to locate your
car as it enters the garage. The system signals to the driver using LED
lights mounted on the wall when the car is detected and in the perfect
spot for parking.

The GPA-100 kit consists of two primary assemblies - The LED Display in
kit form and the pre-assembled ultrasonic range module. the kit will
include everything you need to complete the project except a soldering
iron and hand tools.

Next on the market will be a Wireless Swimming Pool Monitor kit
followed by many more. Heathkit wants to continue to bring to its
customers interesting, unique Heathkit products. Heathkit is interested
in learning what types of products kit builders would like to build.
Kit builders can submit their suggestions through this website using
the Contact Us email.

Thanks!

There ARE still about 750,000 US HAMs who build from scratch, or kits,
when we can find them!

That is a large enough market, but, when added to the "Make Use Of"
crowd, and the "Instructable" folks, the computer "modders", X10, and
Arduino fans, and we can see a market of at least 1.5 million potential
kit builders!

I know that in building the inexpensive kits from India, that usually
don't contain the cases, knobs, transformers, (no problem!), there are a
lot of us hungering for more projects, that are more complete!

No I don't work for them but I have given them my credit card number
several times. My primary HF rig is a K2/100.
