I have been seeing this little USB Dongle for sale on e-bay and other places, that claim to be a Software Defined Receiver (SDR) that covers 24Mhz to something like 2400Mhz and they only cost about $23.00 shipped and the software is FREE. It covers all modes. AM, FM, WFM, USB, LSB, CW, DSB, RAW.
Has a great waterfall display.
A friend wrote an article for QST. Bob's article is about using one of these SDR dongles to track aircraft.
Here are some links to help you.
