Greg,
I've had success getting my SDRPlay RSP2 to work on my Kubuntu (14.04 I believe) laptop and a Raspberry Pi 2B running Raspbian Jessie. On both platforms, I used gqrx as the SDR software and SoapySDR as the interface between gqrx and the SDRPlay drivers. Note that on the Raspberry Pi 2 I had to keep the sampling rate down (400 ksps) and the waterfall size at about 2K samples in order to prevent stuttering. Given that I'm going to use the RSP2 for satellite reception, this was not a great sacrifice. A Raspberry Pi 3B or 3B+ would be a better choice.

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
