<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>For those who have asked, here is a description
of the GR-1009:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It is a small AM portable radio that is powered by a 9-volt
battery. It has an earphone jack and external power jack. I believe it
originally came out in the mid 80s. It is a true Heathkit in all respects (not
something packet by Prokit in Taiwan, like the more recent kits were). Its
manual was written by experienced Heathkit manual writers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now for those of you who are critical of everything the
company does, this is not a redesign or an old product brought back to life. The
company has been selling it all along through our educational reps (educational
courses is what the company does now, and quite well thank you) as a starter
kit. If you don't want one, don't buy one! I only intended to let those of you
know that there are a number of them available if you do.</FONT></DIV>
