RTL-SDR is an inexpensive way to get started, only a receiver though. Transmitters are more complicated (legally) since a lot of spectrum is off limits without a license in most jurisdictions. They have a kit with a couple basic antennas to get you started. https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/ https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/

The RTL-SDR dongle with GQRX is highly recommended, and go well with a NanoVNA. https://www.tindie.com/products/hcxqsgroup/4-nanovna-v2-plus4/ https://www.tindie.com/products/hcxqsgroup/4-nanovna-v2-plus... LimeSDR are a bit more involved, but like most SDR transceivers still need band-pass filters and power amplifiers to perform well. Works well when combined with a GPS locked 10MHz GPSDO like a BG7TBL. =3
