An interesting project would be mods to the GE SuperRadio II or III.
They are cheap, available and have a tuned RF stage.
And an essentially uncalibrated frequency dial. Pretty bad for DXing IMO.
Almost any digitally-tuned car radio would be better for DXing. Remember
that cars drive through all the worst reception areas and their radios have
to at least try to work there.
