[Heathkit] Dx100 and 100B difference

[Bill Cromwell]

Thanks Glen,

I have DX-100 (non 'A', non 'B'). I thought the B model also had support 
for the SSB adapter like the Apache has. I won't concern myself with 
acquiring 'B' model parts to add that to my archaic one. Mine is best 
used on CW and the update plans have fallen from the back burner onto 
the floor behind the stove anyway.

-crossing all of that off the speculative project list-

73,

Heath came out with a modification kit for the original DX-100 to change to the completely variable loading.  DX-100 transmitters such modified were sometimes called a DX-100A.
