I can second Paul's suggestion. I use a Funcube Dongle 2.0, controlled by
SDR-Radio software. Antenna is a Quadrifilar helix in the attic. Using
WXtoimg I can get some stunning pictures.

Rich,
The cheapest way to do it is a USB RTL-SDR dongle ($10-$20). You might need
the AMSAT broadband preamp ($50) depending on the antennas you plan to use.

preamp
Would someone please suggest an inexpensive broadband receiver for the
weather SATS?
