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

[John H Gibson]

Hi Alan,

Please consider MFJ's 8100K regenerative receiver kit. It provides reasonable 
shortwave performance, and its regeneration control can be adjusted for ssb 
and cw reception. The radio's open layout makes it a good kit for beginners, 
and the $80 price includes a nice case. The kit assembly even requires the 
winding of one toroid.

I used to teach an "Introduction to Radio" course for liberal arts students, most 
of whom had never before seen a soldering iron. They had a ball building these 
radios, and the few radios that did not work when first turned on were easy to 
troubleshoot.

73,
John, no8v

#@#$%!  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.
