Einar;  that is an oft asked question.

The SB-221 was shipped in the USA without 10M capability. In order to
upgrade you had to send Heath a copy of your ham license and then they
would send the parts. 
The upgrade included a new output switch wafer, a 10M input coil and
instructions to remove the input low pass filter. Very simple if you had
not already built the amp.
I am not sure about export versions; it probably depends upon how they
got overseas.

The 221 also has a wider spaced Tune cap, 130pf grid capacitors and a few
other minor changes.
