Working Yaesu FRG-7's seem to go for way under £100 occasionally from the usual auction site.

That'd give you 500KHz-30MHz USB/LSB/AM. Has fine tuning which makes SSB signals easier to resolve. Nice sounding receiver as well. Slightly non conventional tuning however.

Agree about the digital radios. I've got a Tecsun and a modern Yaesu rig and the things sound like someome letting off gas in a bin.
