Rtlsdr are extremely cheap to start with. Then maybe Hackrf one? They're all (?) trivial to use on Linux these days.

If you want to go even a step up in the trvial to use ladder, there's the Portapack H4m project. It builds on the HackRF One and adds a screen, custom firmware (open source, extensible) into an handheld factor and lets you do a bunch of... _stuff_ without needing a computer :) Also not _that_ expensive, I got mine for about 400€ from lab401.
