I still have a 303, and a 301. In many ways, you made the better choice!

I always wanted a Collins system but could never afford it. So... I got the poor men's
Collins and purchased the Heathkit SB-303 and matching TX and was very happy
with it. No PBT but in the 70's we didn't need it as much as now.

GM Carl,
I didn't know that. I've seen these radios but never used one.
My first Collins encounter was with the S-Line and KWM-2 when I was in the
Army.
The "Gold Dust Twins" as it and its matching TX were known by, cost about as
much in adjusted dollars back then as two Hilberling PT-8000s cost today.

The Collins 75A4 did PBT that way. When you moved the PBT knob, it rocked
both the BFO control and VFO control for simultaneous movement.
It was all done mechanically.

Hi Sinisa,
Has this technique ever been implemented in a ham radio like this?
With analog technology that would have been a very tough feat to
accomplish but with digital technology it ought to be fairly easy to do.
Of course the down side of that method would be, it moves both skirts
in the same direction, so while you are moving away from QRM on one
side, you may very well be moving into QRM on the other side.

Could someone here please explain to me (technically) how PBT can
work with single conversion?
PBT (with constant filter bandwidth) is easily done with single
conversion and single filter.
Just vary VFO and BFO frequencies simultaneosly to keep the resulting
carrier frequency unchanged.
