If you want a low-price short superhet may I suggest Ferguson 208U?

UCH41, UAF42, UL41, UY41. 3 wavebands. Very easy layout to work on.

Cut-price maybe - but the oscillator and RF tuning are almost no-expenses-spared, separate coils for each band; variable inductance AND trimmer capacitance for optimum tracking. Makes it an astonishingly good performer.
