/diy/ - Do It Yourself

A little off topic, but I'm a ham and can comprehend frequencies and bands and etc.
I have a young family and I'd like a broad receiver in a family space for everyone to have the opportunity to learn frequencies and experiment with a radio if they choose.
Young family rules out SDR along with I'd like to have the tactile component - no 1984 'face to the screen'
Equally, young family means they're monsters and could destroy it, so nothing valuable or vintage.
Something like a ICOM Model IC-R71 or even better a Icom IC-R7100 which includes V&UHF is where I'm gravitating towards, but I'm ignorant of the options and possibilities.
They can listen to AM/FM in the car. I want to break the mold and get them to SWL and SSB.
