For whatever reason I skipped out on the R8A as well. The only one of the
other
above receivers I never owned was the R-4C which I don't think was noted
as
being a good SWL receiver.


Are you kidding, Steve? Out of all the receivers I have owned the R-4C was
"the best."
A Sherwood modified R-4C is still considered THE best "ham" SW receiver of
all time.
Even unmodified it was a treasure to many, including me. But alas I
unwisely sold her
when the new fangled digital displays hit the scene - sigh.
