Check page 458 of the 3rd edition of Shortwave Receivers Past and Present.  The chapter is for Never Manufactured receivers and includes two Grove models:
The SW-100....A very nice looking "normal" receiver.  Kind of like the Ten-Tec RX-350.  There's also the Grove SR-1000 which looks like a sophisticated SDR.  There's 
a blue-print of sorts only on this page.  Not sure whether this means that it was going to be strictly a PC controlled rig, or whether it would have been a normal receiver....looked a bit like a TT RX-340, but with a spectrum scope as well.........Walt.
