Heathkit Hero mailing list

[oneheady]

Paul,

Wow....that sounds awesome, that they replaced the battery after a year!
You don't see companies doing that too often.

I didn't have any specific questions regarding the hero 2000 yet.  The one
that I have is kind of a fixer up er....I got the remote working and am now
working on the arm (grrr....my roommate made the wrist turn too far and
snapped the cable).  Once I am done getting the arm to work, then all I need
to do is oil'er up and start programming.
