WiNRADiO makes several models of internal and external
computer-controlled radios.  Their protocols are published, and Linux
software exists.  Prices range from about $500 to about $3000.

The only other computer-controlled radio I know of is the Icom PCR1000,
which is an external radio covering 100 kHz to 1.3GHz.  The protocols
for this radio are not published, and the only available software seems
to be for Windows.

I have no personal experience with any of these, though.
