FYI, Heathkit sold a panadaptor as a kit for their SB series of 
radios in the late '60's - early '70's. I built one from a kit back 
then and used it with a SB-303, IIRC. I sold that one, but later 
bought one again to use with different equipment. It is in a closet 
here now. I forget the nomenclature - it may be SB-620.
