TIm,

I think that you pretty much have it nailed. The DX60 also had a line filter on the incoming AC line and there were some power supply changes to the later models but they were small. The DX60B has the meter with the black band on the bottom but I have seen DX60B's with the clear meter also.  Also, the early DX60's had SO239 connectors for the RF output but later they cheapened it up and put in RCA phono plugs. Heath was very confused!

All in all the early DX60 seemed to be the best one to have.
