Many "scanners" now go to that frequency e.g AOR AR-8600. (100kHz to 2GHz )
They are hardly state-of-the-art receivers but should be capable of
detecting jammers driving past. However a new unit is quite pricey $1000
equivalent in the UK as little as $300 for a used version. Also the AMSAT
FCD Pro+ USB SDR at $200 and free software.

=========================
Or even the DVB-T dongles at just a few pounds (and with a wider bandwidth),
covers up to around 1.7 GHz, I have red. For example:

Admittedly, you aren't supporting AMSAT compared to the FUNcube Pro+, but
for a quick experiment....
