Inexpensive SWL recievers

[Doug Aab]

Hello all;
I am looking for suggestions on what type of inexpensive Heathkit SWL
reciever(s) I could procure to pass around amongst some young scouts to
generate some interest in radio communications.  I have noticed several models
(GR64, SW717, etc.) but know nothing about any of them.  For example, what
modes do they recieve, and does anyone have a 'best bang for the buck'
recommendation?
Thanks in advance.
Doug
