Still looking for a cheaper alternative. All I need is a cheap portable SDR I can program. No need for a fancy enclosure or UI.

Are you not satisfied with the myriad of cheap baofeng/clone UHF/VHF handhelds that support CHIRP?

why not use a Raspberry Pi with every RTL-SDR Stick you can find? Or spluge on an HackRF :)
