If it were my money, I'd likely buy a Drake R8B as my tabletop radio of
choice, and I've already got a DE1103 (which I really like, and which is
definitely in your current price range). Some popular choices for tabletop
receivers: Icom's R75, Yaesu's FRG-100B, Ten-Tec's RX-350D. These range from
about $500 (for the R75 and FRG-100B) to about three times that much, in the
case of the Drake and Ten-Tec.
Start saving your pennies!
If you don't mind buying used there is Ebay and Universal radio has a
page just for used equipment.
http://www.universal-radio.com/alert.html
There aren't any for sale on that page right now so check it another
time.
