You'll enjoy the AN/URR74 . I've had one here for about 5 years now, 
and it's a solid performer.
Only complaint I have is that it gets kinda noisy below 100 KHz.

One thing tho...   ASAP, REPLACE THE BATTERY, AND MOVE IT OFF OF THE 
PC BOARD!!!

A leaking NiCad on that board will definitely ruin yer day...  AND 
the receiver!

I put in extension leads & moved it to the rear panel of the radio, 
held in place with Velcro.
