If you went to the CCC camp this summer in Germany you could have gotten a SDR with your badge.

The badge [0] (called rad1o) is a hackrf-compatible SDR for frequencys between 50 and 4000 mhz.

Maybe somebody at a local hackerspace went and is willing to trade you his?

+1 for the rad1o/hackrf. Most of the other SDRs people are recommending here are only receivers, so they can't transmit.

When I was at CCC camp I made node.js bindings for the hackrf, so it's pretty easy to work with: https://github.com/mappum/node-hackrf, https://github.com/mappum/hackrf-stream
