The Ettus USRP B-series[2] is very well supported for about $1000.
The ADALM-PLUTO[3] at $150 is a bargain for a full duplex SDR but a range of 325 MHz to 3.8GHz leaves a lot of interesting spectrum out. That is less of a problem if you get a mixer and RF signal generator because you can up/down convert the HF/VHF/UHF bands up to 1 GHz as an IF and play with them there. There are some off the shelf solutions for this like the 'Ham it Up'[4] but you are at the mercy of their TXCO.
I have all of these solutions except for the USRP and find that when I reach for a radio to look at a signal I usually grab the LimeSDR.
