[Elecraft] Elecraft GC receiver?

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

How about a Kenwood TH-F6A?  It fits your price point, has CW and SSB 
coverage, and receives 0.1-1300MHz, and supports RS232 control so you 
can use it for your computer control.  Plus when you aren't using it as 
a station monitor, you can use it on 2/1.25/70cm TX.
