I was under the impression that the 300 was the older AM/CW based rig,
while the 303 was the updated SSB version? Never owned either so that
could be a lot of horse manure, and second hand at that.

Never liked the 'new' HQs that followed after the big box single
conversion rigs ending with the 150. "Improved" with double conversion
or ? Gimme the 120X or an old SP anytime.
