Thanks Jerry.  I'd gladly take you up on the offer for both.

Miro Hrončok was able to resolve the SoapySDR python 3.8 build failure, so
that is now fixed and the most recent release is in rawhide.  There
shouldn't be a need to backport that to F30 unless you really wanted to.

There is an upstream SoapySDR plugin for SDRPlay, which I have not packaged
as I don't have that hardware.  That would be your first step.

As for CubicSDR, it's going to be an ongoing struggle unless either
wxWidgets development release is packaged into Fedora, or someone goes
through the trouble of getting an exception to include it statically for
CubicSDR.

Thanks,
