[amsat-bb] SDRPlay2 setup on Linux?

[Hans (BX2ABT)]

Hello Greg,

I recently wanted an upgrade of my RTL-SDR and when researching options 
I always encountered reports that the RSP2 was not working with Linux 
well. So I bought an Airspy Mini and it was plug-n-play (after 
installing the drivers in the Kubuntu repositories). So I second Jim's 
comment that you better sell it off and buy an Airspy instead. 73
