And for all subsequent models, for that matter, except the SB-102 which had 
it as original equipment.

Yes. This, by the way, was the result of an article on that very problem 
addressed in QST magazine. The method in that article was more complex 
than the one Heathkit arrived at, however.

I have that complete mod with all the diagrams and pictorials published on 
my website at the link below. It is available for download as either a single  
PDF, or as separate pages, all in PDF format.

I have other mods and other information for the Heathkit all-banders which I 
feel are valuable shown there too.
