Don,
Go out on the net and research the words "affordable" and "SDR" and you
can then probably answer your own question.
But to save you some time;
A SDR RX does not include a transmitter.
A SDR RX does not need a front panel or any physical controls, just a
USB or Ethernet port, an antenna connector, and maybe a power connector.
The better ones like the mentioned $250 Afedri are not limited to 192kc
bandwidth. Then there is the $200 Fun Cube Pro that covers 160M to 1296.
The KX3, which is a super fine portable transceiver, would be a waste of
money for someone basically looking for a SDR RX

Why does the KX3 not meet that request?
It is a direct to baseband SDR transceiver.
Yes, it contains its own "computer" in the box, but that does not make
it any less of an SDR receiver.
If you are looking for a panadapter display, connect a soundcard to
the RX I/Q output and you will have it.

An affordable direct sampling SDR RX from Elecraft would be well
received, at least in this QTH. I'm thinking of something along the
lines of the Afedri SDR but with front end filters and better
dynamic range.
