I had one, and the difference consists in the compliance with the FCC 
rule to disable the amplifier on 10/11 meters.  The SB201 had a modified 
input circuit and did not have a 10 meter tap on the tank coil.  It came 
with a front panel that did not have a 10-meter position marked.  When I 
sent Heath a photocopy of my license, they sent me a kit (I forget if I 
had to pay for this or not) including a few input circuit components, 
instructions, and a new front panel!  As far as I know it is otherwise 
identical with the SB200.
