Default Does anyone know a good, cheap, wideband reciever?

I want one preferably with SSB. If nobody know of one, I'll buy an
ATS-909.

You also need to define "wideband".

Something like the Icom R3- except without the video.

Not quite sure what a wideband radio is these days, but a cheap radio
that can receive multiple bands and ssb would be a Degen DE1103.

Yaesu VR-500 or Icom IC-R2 both go for around that price on ebay all the
time.

Oh.. of those two, the Yaesu is by far the better radio... harder to tune,
but has SSB/CW capablility, and there's a firmware (button) mod for
narrowband AM.

Not trying to start an argument, Brenda but how can you say the Yaesu is
harder to tune? Punch in 123.45 ENTER. What could be easier?
The Icom, you have to hold a button while turning the bfo, etc...
