[Heathkit] DX100 & B.

[Richard M. Gillingham]

Well, Bill, I can't say I'm an expert, but here's what I've learned.

The DX-100 B differed from the '100 in several ways.

The '100 B offers only one crystal position available from a switch inside 
the cabinet.

There are two holes punched in the chassis for use with the SB-10 SSB 
adapter.  The holes are for mounting SO259s.

Instead of a combination of stepped capacitance and a variable cap for 
loading in the '100, the '100 B used a large gear-driven cap which was not 
as prone to arc over.  There was a mod available for the '100.

And the knobs were a little different.

Of course the more obvious differences in the cabinet, you've already 
mentioned.

Best luck,
Gil, W1RG

PS:  If you can find it, get Chuck Penson's "Heathkit, A Guide to the 
Amateur Radio Products".  A great reference.  It has some un-indexed CB 
stuff too.
It was published by CQ a while back.  Dunno if it's still in print.
