[amsat-bb] SDRPlay2 setup on Linux?

[Jim Jerzycke]

I had ZERO luck with getting it to work on Linux. If you follow their instructions and install their software, you will *never* get rid of it short of a format and reinstall.

It left such a bad taste in my mouth I sold it and bought an AirSpy. Instantly recognized by OpenSUSE Leap 42.2, same as yours.

Hate to say it, but good luck!

Hi folks,

Anybody gotten the SDRPlay2 (RSP2) to be recognized under Linux?  I'm
following the various setup instructions on their site, but the device
isn't being recognized as anything but a random USB thingy.  No device
name assigned, and none of the software seems to be able to find it. 

My system is running OpenSuSE LEAP 42.1 on an Intel Core2 i5 x86 system.

Hoping to use the device for FunCube telemetry reception, but just
starting with gqrx as proof of it working.  Which it's not.

Thanks,

Greg  KO6TH
