I suppose a Scott SLRM would be difficult to detect.  Not quite a 
"communications" receiver, it is basically a high quality multiband 
broadcast radio with special shielding to keep the local oscillators from 
radiating.  They were used on the Liberty Ships in WW2 to provide 
entertainment for the crew, while protecting the ship from detection by the 
enemy homing in on the local oscillators.
My father-in-law rescued one from going to the dump and lugged it all the 
way from Arizona and dropped it off here.  An interesting piece of gear.
