Thanks for the welcome and the tip, Starman! Yep, now I remember that Star
Roamer was a Knight-Kit, and not a Heath. I did a Google on the DX-300 whe=
n
I first picked it up, just to see what info I could find on it, but I didn'=
t
spot any mods for it- I'll take another look and see what comes up...

Welcome to the group. I built a Star-Roamer for a friend in the 60's. It
was made by Knight-Kit. You certainly got a good buy on the DX-300.
There are quite a few mod's for it on the Net. Just do a Google search
for them. Some of the mod's for the DX-302 will work for your DX-300
too.
