This is kind of silly. Heath wasn't even thinking "amateur radio" products until they got wind of potential demand from hams. Even at that, they're thinking "accessories" -- probably updated versions of tuner, wattmeter, etc.  Small stuff. 

If they can start with something to get their feet wet that sells, and find a market to build on that, and make enough money to support a business  -- more power to them. I'd buy something from them just to get another "Heathkit" logo box delivered to my door :-)
