Ernie,
Don't feel disrespected, they're refering to the predecessor of the HW-2036
& 2036A (I belive the correct model number was HW-2021, tho, not HW-2026),
Heath's first synthesized 2 meter rig... the one that had to be recalled
because of a synthesizer problem.
Always wondered if someone held onto that rig despite the recall. Be a heck
of a collectors item now if someone did. <g>. But of course, that's more a
topic now for the Heath reflectors!
