You really don't say what type of receiver you want nor for what purpose.

However, as you are a ham, why not get a Drake TR-7 transceiver? Very
good SWL receiver (1.5-30 MHz continuous and 0-1.5 MHz with AUX-7 board)
and you can use it for transmitting too. They seem to be in the
$450-$650 range.

I had thought about a transceiver however I'm in a condo and a proper
antenna for transmitting (let alone receiving) is problematic.

Well, I once lived in an apartment complex (second floor of three,
couldn't even sneak a good aerial let alone a good ground), but I did
use a Kenwood R-5000 with about 20 feet of wire tossed out under the
window screen. I'm still amazed at some of the stations I heard and
on the low bands that I heard them on under those conditions.
$400-500 on eBay.
