08-02-2023 We let several months go by and the RF Meter - HM-1002 is still not shipping.

 04-02-2023 Looking back, the RF Meter - HM-1002 was introduced in 2017 as a new kit available for pre-order. Here it is 2023 and no indication when it will be in production and ship to those who pre-ordered it.

 03-02-2023 Still the same, Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 is not in production yet?? It would be interesting to know if Heathkit has any idea when this kit may be in production??

 02-02-2023 Still the same, Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 is not in production yet??

 01-02-2023 Still the same, definitely no change.

 12-02-2022 Still the same, and i'm wondering how many years HM-1002 kit has been on pre-order? I will look it up for next time.

 11-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same. Little or nothing obvious has changed at Heathkit.

 10-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same. The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.

 09-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same. The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.

 08-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same. The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.

 07-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same. The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.

 06-02-2022 The same to report, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders.

 05-02-2022 Yes, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. I'm really looking forward to the day they ship and the possibility of being able to buy this unit and receive it in a timely fashion.

 04-02-2022 And Again, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping, a number of items can take 4 to 5 weeks before you receive them, due to country restrictions, parts availability, etc..

 03-02-2022 And Again, The HM-1002 kit has not started to ship, from this you can expect any new kits they come up with will take 5 to 10 yrs before they make it to production and you get a chance to buy. It is kind of sad when you think about it and what they used to be many years ago.

 02-02-2022 And Again, There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still not being shipped!

 01-02-2022 And Again, There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still not being shipped!

 12-02-2021 Again, There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still not being shipped!

 11-02-2021 There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still no being shipped!

 10-02-2021 We see nothing new this month.

 09-02-2021 We see nothing new again this month. Except maybe a new T shirt.

 08-02-2021 We see nothing new this month.

 07-02-2021 We see nothing new as of this month, and the RF Meter - HM-1002 still not being delivered to pre-order customers. It's going to be a long wait!

 06-02-2021 We see nothing new as of this month. 

 05-02-2021 Don't look for or expect anything new from Heathkit, they continue to just coast along, with nothing new or changing. It has been 8 months since the Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 kit went into the manufacturing phase, with no shipments yet??

 04-02-2021 Their status remains the same as last month, nothing new.

 03-02-2021 Their status remains the same as last month, nothing new.

 02-02-2021 Their status remains the same as last month, nothing new.

 01-02-2021 Looking thru their site, they still have HM-1002 power meter in pre-order and a newly added android app and a parallel port adapter for micro-controller programming.

 12-02-2020 Looking thru their site, still nothing new found.

 11-02-2020 Nothing new to report

 10-02-2020 The only kits of any consequence are the GC-1006 Clock Kit currently available and the RF Meter - HM-1002 kit, which is still in pre-order. It looks like it will be many years down the road before you see any new real kits from Heathkit that aren't in pre-order for 4 or 5 years or more!

 09-02-2020 Pre-orders for the Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 kit are now closed. They have entered the manufacturing phase, this is the only new news for now.

 08-02-2020 Their Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 kit is still on pre-order. A long time to wait and still waiting. Nothing has changed I'm sorry to say.

 07-02-2020 Another month and there is nothing new to report.

 06-02-2020 Another month and there is nothing new to report.

 05-02-2020 Another month and there is nothing new to report.

 04-02-2020 Another month and there is nothing new to report.

 03-02-2020 There is nothing new to report.

 02-02-2020 Still a delay in receiving the GC-1006 Clock Kit and the RF Meter Kit. From what I can gather, Heathkit is a part time enterprise. Very little on there site and the first new Radio kit was a disappointment and not worthy of the Heathkit name.

 01-02-2020 Still a delay in receiving the GC-1006 Clock Kit.

 12-02-2019 It looks like there are delays in receiving their new GC-1006 Most Reliable Clock Kit.

 11-02-2019 No new kits but they have added a number of clean pre-owned kits at fair prices.

 10-02-2019 their RF Meter HM-1002 is still on pre-order and essentially nothing new.,

 09-02-2019 Only thing new is tee shirts have been added to their line up.

 08-02-2019 I keep hoping and looking for more new kits, but none on the horizon.

 07-02-2019 Once again their site shows nothing new

 06-02-2019 Once again their site shows nothing new

 05-02-2019 Once again their site shows nothing new.

 04-02-2019 Once again their site shows nothing new.

 03-02-2019 Checking their site, looks like nothing new.

 02-02-2019 Looks like they have no new kits and no new parts listed. They do talk about new SM (surface mount ruler kits) coming soon.

 01-02-2018 Reports have the GC-1006 clock kit as a good value for the $99.95 price tag, and a good kit to get back into kit building. At least some good news from kit builders and Heathkit!

 12-02-2018 They have added an antenna kit to their current line. The AN-P2L pipe antenna kit, which sells for 149.95. Other than that it is pretty much the same this month.

 11-02-2018 October shows the same as October.

 10-02-2018 October shows the same as September.

 09-02-2018 Checking in on their website, shows nothing new to talk about. Hopefully the few kits they currently have for sale are worth the cost??

 08-02-2018 Things have settled in, and the only new item is a magnifying loop. That is it for this month.

 07-02-2018 They have added an active ruler kit, which looks to be a good SMD starter kit but highly over priced and a SMD soldering kit that is over priced also, to their lineup.

 06-02-2018 This month sees no change since last month.

 05-02-2018 A new kit has been added to their line up, the GC-1006 a digital clock kit with a solid case - cost is $99.95.

 04-02-2018 They have added a "T" shirt and a book, otherwise not much change.

 03-02-2018 Their site is up and shows same items for sale.

 02-02-2018 Looks like there site is still down, major problems.??

 01-02-2018 Went to visit their site it was down. Been down a couple of days.

 12-02-2017 They have another new kit the GC-1006 clock kit, it costs $99.95.

 11-02-2017 They may have more kits on the drawing board but it will probably be some time before we see them.

 10-02-2017 Looks like this latest kit will be it for awhile.

 09-02-2017 A new kit, the HM-1002 rf power monitor. Available late summer 2017. Cost $575.00.

 08-02-2017 And again no real change.

 07-02-2017 Once again no real change.

 06-02-2017 No change since last month.

 05-02-2017 They have made no more advancement in the new kit area. I suspect it will be some time before we see a new kit from them, I hope I'm wrong.

 04-02-2017 We are hopeful, that something new is in the works.

 03-02-2016 One new vintage item for sale and that is it.

 02-02-2016 The new AM receiver kit with a price tag of $149.00 is a bit pricey for the beginner. I don't see to many experienced kit builders paying that for a kit of this caliber.

 01-02-2016 Nothing new to report.

 12-02-2015 The only thing new is, they are offering an AM TRF receiver kit. I will hold off commenting on the kit until I have actually seen the kit as you would receive it when purchased. The cost is $149.00, which I thought was high for a beginner level kit but maybe it will be worth it??

 11-02-2015 They have made several changes to their site but you can get Sever Error from a number of links.
The Contact Us email seems to be working now but a response may take some time. They have added a Heathkit Manuals page, where you can purchase a manual, only 22 manuals though. There is a shopping page on their site now, nothing great yet. The Heathkit Ebay site remains pretty much the same. New Heathkit products, No.

10-02-2015 Once again, a month has passed, lets see what they are up to?
Checking their website, Contact us is still non-functional. In products, they have added Android Apps, that's it. Now checking their eBay Store, just a few parts and one refurbished kit.

09-02-2015 One month later and still showing the same details. It will be interesting to see when they actually have a kit of their own for sale. Hopefully it won't be in the ho-hum category, something that is already out in kit form. Heathkit's first kit was a solid kit, an oscilloscope not a pcb with a few LEDs.

08-02-2015 Once again, checking their sites, you will find a few parts, no kits, one or two built kits and no new products or kits!

 07-02-2015 Once again nothing new to report since last month.

 06-02-2015 Checking their sites, you will find a few parts, no kits, one or two used kits and no new products or kits!

   HEATHKIT, the company is owned by a new group and they are making a major effort to bring the company back to the electronic kit business. The process is a slow one, once you leave a market it takes a considerable amount of time and money to get back in and up and running.

They have had surveys and emails, a contest, plus a special interest group. All of this to see how much interest is out there, what that interest is and to see what the competition will be.

I know from experience that Heathkit was the pinnacle of kit manufacturers, I built quite a few big and small. Trying other kit companies kits, Heathkit never dropped from number one. I hope they make it back and with some great kits, I miss building them.

In my opinion, it was completely the fault of very poor management, they were trying to prop up their faltering educational systems with the kit business resources. The result was inevitable, the kit business disappeared and not to long to be followed by the educational systems. If they would have had the right person in charge of the educational systems and management with far more vision Heathkit may have not gone down.

We will keep you informed as to their progress.......
