etc. I bet there are way more kits today than there were during the
Eico Heath days. They just aren't for shortwave radios very much,
although the Elecraft radios are the best in the world and totally
suitable for serious SWL.

While the Elecraft radios can and do perform well on shortwave, the
widest crystal filter at 4.2 KHz (on the KX3) is still a bit narrow for
real hi-fi SWL. I say this as a very happy KX3 owner.

It gets the job done, but the Elecraft rigs are really meant for hams
and not SWLs.
