The Radio Jove receiver is quite good, and cheap at $US250 built, or about $US155 in kit form. See http://radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov/office/order_form.htm

The antenna is dead simple to build, its just really a twin dipole on a couple of sticks.

Plug the output of the receiver into your PC's sound card and plot the output with Radio Skypipe software (free version available) at http://www.radiosky.com/skypipeishere.html

There is one running at Grove Creek, scroll to the bottom of http://www.gco.org.au/scopes/index.htm
