As both Ken (Hi Ken) and Mike have pointed out, there are some obvious and some less subtle differences between the HE-10/KT-200 and the HE-30/KT-320 receivers. Whether or not, the cosmetic design of the HE-10/KT-200 was put in place to mimic the early S-38 series is questionable since those S-38's were discontinued years earlier and during the time of the HE-10/KT-200, the Hallicrafters S-38 series were slide rule dials. One of the most significant differences between the HE-10/KT-200 and the early S-38 series was that the HE-10/KT-200 had an AC power transformer and the S-38 series did not.
 
As far as kit versus wired, both seemed to be equally highlighted for both models in the catalogs. Kit building was an easy way to save some money back in the "good old days".

And the HE-10 had a real BFO, not a regenerative IF stage. The S-meter on the HE-10 was a "real" meter -- not a hard to read edgewise meter. Interesting that the HE-10 was marketed more as a kit (KT-200, I believe) while the HE-30 was offered more in the wired version, although kit version was available. Big issue with the HE-10 was it LOOKED like an S-38, but was a much better rcvr. Many thought it was a "Japanese knockoff" of the S-38. Both were a bit drifty on the highest frequency band. --Mike, WV2ZOW

A correction is needed to the post describing the HE-10 vs. HE-30, wherein the poster wrote that the HE-10 & HE-30 were essentially the same receivers albeit with a different tube layout. Please note that in addition to containing a slide-rule dial with bandspread calibrated for the 80 - 10 amateur bands, the HE-30 had a Q-multiplier; which was lacking in the HE-10.
