Failing that how about an Elecraft designed, fully filtered, fully integrated, high stability, 
VLF up converter covering 5KHz to 500KHz.

This would cater for the Natural Radio listeners, Alpha stations, numerous high power 
transmissions used by hams as propagation beacons, 136KHz band, NDB hunters and 
the new 472KHz allocation.

I see from the report of WRC-12 that a new band 472-479kHz is to be
allocated on a world-wide basis with an eirp of 5W (1W in some
countries).  The K3 receiver currently goes down to 490kHz.  Is there
any likelihood that this could be extended down to cover the new band?
