Seconded on the Drake R-8B, great receiver, not quite up with the
R-390A/Sherwood SE-3, but close, and much easier to use. After letting
my first go, I got another within a couple of months, you can also use
it on the ham bands, it does have a weird method of calculating CW
frequencies (displays actual carrier frequency, not carrier frequency
plus offset). Only a problem on digital and CW, just remember you are
reading about 800 hertz low.

What you want is the Drake R8B.
There's one available on a certain highly-regarded auction site right
now for $700.
