You could get one of these. It just has a terminal clip that holds onto the wire.

Technically it’s meant to have a second wire to use as a counterpoise but it will still work fine for receiving.

Alternately you could give this a try.

If you want to sniff around the entire frequency range the SDR is capable of receiving you will want something outdoors and as high as you can get it. Just stick a long wire in the center hole of the SMA connector and run it up a tree. Attaching a 15-20 foot wire to the outside of the SMA connector as a counterpoise might lower the noise floor a little.

When you're ready for a better setup, you'll still want it outdoors and high but you will also want to do a better job of matching the impedance of the SDR; something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0141X3B5W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_z8DEzbKNJ7ZMH
