[amsat-bb] Error accessing FunCube Pro from FoxTelem

[Stephen E. Belter]

Joe,

I believe the FUNcube dongle uses *two* virtual USB interfaces over the single physical USB port.  The IQ stream looks like a standard sound card and is one of the virtual USB interfaces.  

The control functions like frequency, preamp gain, etc., use the standard HID (Human Interface Device) interface, USB-HID.

Jim's problem is unusual, but I have the same problem with FoxTelem on my Windows 10 machines.  I haven't discovered a solution, yet.

    were using usb-hid ?!?!?
    
    Howard...?  Or was that on the hardware-side?
