I have a tecsun pl-880, and as far as portables go, it is pretty good, but nothing in a similar price range seems to compare to selective voltmeters/selective level meters.
I have a rycom3121a that i got for less money than my tecsun which has a tuning range of 10 to 1600 KHz and a 100 Hz cw filter. there are several companies that make (or used to make) these. Rycom is probably the easiest to find, but Wandel and Goltermann, HP, Rohde&Schwarz, and a few others also made them. Price range is anywhere from 100 USD to thousands, depending on what you are looking for. Even the cheap ones will almost always outperform any common radio receiver below 500 KHz though.
