[amsat-bb] Funcube Dongle Pro+ w/GQRX (Ubuntu)

[Burns Fisher]

Like Phil says, it is probably related to the bandwidth available through
the chain of hubs you are using.  (There are usually hubs WITHIN the
computer as well as external).  Interesting, though.  I do use an external
powered hub which works fine (but using a Windows PC).

Anyway, I'm glad you got it going.
