[Amps] Heath copyright

[Glen Zook]

Heath is most certainly not DEAD!  They are just no longer making electronic kits.  However, a little while back there was an announcement that they might be returning to the kit business.  However, there was no mention of again making kits for the amateur radio market.

yeees, that true in a way. but  how you cope with something like the fact that Heath is DEAD?Who  is the beneficiary of the intellectual knowledge of a defunct company? Usually, a company is required by law to provide service and spares for its products for a certain length of time, after having sold the product. if it falls, i don't see a reason why the last resource remaining to keep the product alive shouldn't pass in the public domain. It seems to me that it should be part of the company's responsibility- well, it probably doesn't exactly fit to Heath, since at the time electronic copies weren't available- but but selling a TS-140 manual for 40$ IS forcing many of us to resort to illegal copies!
