Likely the lowest cost way to get into that is with a TV tuner USB dongle. They cost about $20. People are able to get about 2.4 mega samples per second. Not a lot of dynamic range but you can control that. Use a mixer to move the signal of interest into the range the tuner can handle. Tuniers typically tune from about 20Mhz to 1Ghz or 2Ghz approximate.
