UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum - View Single Post - A relatively cheap portable SW receiver with SSB/CW and analogue tuning?

General coverage short wave radios (rather than ham bands only) tend to be marketed not as 'short wave' radios, but 'world band' radios so a search under that heading might yield something. However if you want something in current production, the requirement for an analogue dial will narrow the field somewhat, and a BFO would narrow it still further. The Sony 7600, (no longer available), had a BFO, but a digital dial.

Good luck in your quest.
