Depends on your budget, plenty of base station rigs going second hand for @£200 and up.
£400 get you a brand new Xiegu G90 and I highly recommend these rigs, perfect for mobile or base at home. Runs happily off cheap 12v gel batteries, 1-20w output, SDR, built in SWR meter, its perfect for digital FT8, built in Morse reader and an ariel tuner that will tune a wet lettuce leaf

I got one of them and the service was first class. Ordered mid afternoon and it was on my doorstep the next morning.
