It doesn't have to be.  A Raspberry Pi, a cheap VHF mobile rig,
and a USB sound card will get you on the air.  If you've already
got the rig, you can probably do it all for under $100; well
under that if you're OK with a soldering iron and don't mind
modding a cheap CM-108 or similar.  If you've already got a
Raspberry Pi (or a computer you don't mind using for this other
wise) you're good to go.
