You could buy an SDR dongle that will let you use your computer as a radio for about $20. Here's one that goes up to 1700 MHz (I have little experience with these so I can't recommend a particular one). So that will let you listen to 1420 MHz, but you're not going to hear any aliens. Astronomers use huge radio telescopes and computers to try to detect very weak signals across interstellar distances.
While it's not going to be sensitive enough to do any real SETI, you'd still have a radio receiver that lets you listen to an extremely wide frequency range.
