That's a nice and affordable one: https://www.sdrplay.com/rsp1a/
I would avoid RTL based for HF - poor performance.

Re: help needed with setting up sdr radio.
Sorry, didn't notice Chris's reply, good advice.
The SDRplay devices are very good, I have two here the 1a and the duo. There is a huge difference the two, especially on HF. You often see the 1a coming up for sale on eBay.
Good luck.
