Wow. Benton Harbor is the place the lovely Heathkits of my youth came from.

Now its a sewer.

Heath was actually in St. Joseph MI for a long time.

Drove out there from suburban Detroit a few times when I couldn’t wait to mail a check and and then wait for delivery. (This was before Heath opened a retail store in Southfield MI.)

Yeah, IIRC, Heathkit had a couple of portable 2 and 6 meter transceivers, the “Two’er” and “Six’er” that were called “Benton Harbor Lunchboxes” since they resembled a lunchbox.
