A relatively cheap portable SW receiver with SSB/CW and analogue tuning?
Is this mission impossible?
(And I have deliberately posted on the Domestic forum rather than the Amateur & Military forum because I know there are excellent communication receivers for the Amateur market but they are very expensive)
In short what I'm looking for is a pre-digital tuning equivalent of modern day Degen/Tecsun shortwave receivers. I really hate the noise floor introduced by cheap and nasty digital tuning front ends (ok maybe I don't really know what I'm talking about but you get the idea, hopefully).
I want a half decent portable receiver with decent filters that can decode SSB and the occasional CW signal. Up to the 20m band is fine. I don't need the whole SW spectrum. MW + LW would be appreciated.
Do these devices still exist on the market? I've been looking on the usual sites but I couldn't find anything similar. If something pops up, it will be for parts or not working.
Where would I even start looking? My budget is about £100 or hopefully less.
Thanks in advance.
