Hi, I am just now setting up an SDRPlay Duo and was thinking about using
CubicSDR. I do not mind taking this assuming it supports SDRPlay.
I have never used it so please advise, has it worked with SDRPlay hardware
previously? I am starting here at ground zero as far as SDR stuff so will have
to get myself setup and oriented on the build process. (Currently I am a
gcc/gfortran maintainer, and I am shifting my interests a little more to my ham
radio work.
