You can get an RTL-SDR stick and for shortwave get one of the upconverters. 
Should cost less than $85

Subject: [AFMUG] OT: Decent Wideband Communications Receiver

 

Hi Folks,

 

Tonight I was having a wistful moment desiring to fiddle with the knobs of a 
wideband communications receiver and listen to jibber jabber from 
far-off-lands.  Back In The Day we had heath kit, yeasu, drake, realistic, and 
grundig that would provide hours of enjoyment.

 

Can anyone recommend a decent wideband RF receiver for DXing?  Does anyone DX 
anymore?  Thanks in advance...
