Pretty much any shortwave radio that tunes 21.4 MHz and the modes you want should work. Sensitivity is not an issue as the IF output on the rear is a high level (you'd likely need an attenuator). For AM, you can find many cheap radios that would work. Adding SSB and FM is going to push the price up somewhat. If you're looking to do wide FM, you'll need to up convert to FM broadcast band or look into the high end receivers like the NorCal or Dana class receivers at 21.4. Remember that you'll need to use the zero span mode and won't be able to view the spectrum while monitoring.

Thank you for your response. I would prefer both AM, FM and SSB but
economic compromises may have to be made. FM at a minimum.
As to the frequency, I was assuming that I would be able to use the
20-something megahertz IF connector on the back of the spectrum analyzer.
That's why I was thinking about a shortwave receiver; I know I've heard of
other people doing this.

What frequency range are you looking for?
I usewd a DEI R-1037F telemetry receiver on the 227 MHz IF output of an
AIL 757 SA.
Do you need AM / FM / other?

=============
I am looking for a shortwave radio to use as a demodulator for my
spectrum
analyzer, so I can listen to the signals I see. I don't have a shortwave
receiver right now. Can someone make a recommendation, preferably for
something relatively inexpensive?
Thank you!
