Radio Shack carries a few world band radios of the kind you are describing - I use a DX-375, which covers the 120m-13m bandwidths (2300-21850 kHz) - uses 2 C batteries (which for me last about 3 months of 8-hour/day use). I don't know whether this is their current model, but 18 months ago I found it on sale for $69. If it's not the current one, they likely have a similarly-equipped one for a similar price. The World Radio TV Handbook also gives specifications and recommendations for many types of world band and shortwave receivers (from portables to tabletops) - you might take a look at the current edition for more info. It also has ads from manufacturers that might expand the possibilities.
