This is just a thought experiment so far. Perhaps it will never progress. I think i want to rule out typical tube B voltages - just too expensive, versus a rechargeable 12 or 24 DC. The RF output ckt can be tapped for a lower Z output device. Lower Z audio is something i am still puzzling about. The exclusively receive ckts would be a piece of cake. 
Thanks to all for comments.
