So the question is whether you can make a good PC card digital oscilloscope for $100.00. You need an oscillator, frequency divider, PLL, sample & hold, and DAC as well as the PCIe interface. I seriously doubt that this is possible for $100.00 but it does depend on the maximum input frequency you wish to use, sample rate, and the accuracy (and number of bits) needed. Actually, you can spend over $100. on a good DAC

You can get a 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer for $129.

If a 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer can be sold for $129, why not a lower
frequency unit?

This device isn't really a digital spectrum analyzer. It is a sweeping RF signal strength meter. Such a device is quite useful but it isn't going to work for lower frequencies.
