Trade Radio Shack PRO-2004 Wide Band Scanner for good
Table top Shortwave receiver like the Drake SW2 or
Bearcat DX1000 or Kenwood R1000, etc.

The 2004 covers from 25 MHz to 520 MHz and 760 MHz to 1300 MHz
with no gaps and is still considered one of the best base
full coverage scanners made and can be compared to the
ICOM R7000.
