I need to buy a half-decent SW receiver that I can use for listening to
both broadcasting stations and CW amateur radio.

I am tempted by the Xhdata d-808, which has a 500hz narrow filter. I
wonder if there are any alternatives.

You really want to fine tune CW signals on a receiver with a 1 kHz step?
The following morse should grately help in choosing the radio.

Morse should not be typed, therefore I have to ignore it. Why wouldn't
you bother writing your answer in plain English?

So you decided to buy a CB radio then. Good for you. Now you can
talk to all friends.

Ok, pretending for a second that you're not a troll, the XHDATA has a
500 hz filter. Assuming the standard step is 1 Khz, that would fit two
signals, albeit a bit shite. Then there's a fine tuning knob that can
(hello?) "fine tune"!

Please mention a receiver in that price range with <1 Khz tuning step.
