[Elecraft] Need a kit recomendation (off topic a little)

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

You might look at the "Softrock 40" small board.  Great capability.  It does 
have some SMT surface mount chips on it.  I am sure you can get some help 
with them if you need to like I did for the first time. Small, cheap  (was 
$10 in the beginning).  It is a receiver or a single band or another kit I 
think has up to 4 bands and it sends data to the PC and decodes CW and audio 
SSB and even psk I think.  The display looks like a spectrum scope and you 
click and it decodes or you hear the ssb audio.  Neat.  The K3 version (vs 
40, 20 , 15, 10 meter versiond) can also be used as a spectrum display for 
the K3 I am told.

I purchased an AM radio kit for my five year old grandson.  It was a piece 
of #@#$%!  Did not even work when I completed it.  Does anyone know of a 
simple radio kit (like the old Heath crystal radio kit) that is of decent 
quality?  He was so disappointed, I was also.  He loves to listen while make 
HF contacts using my K3.
