Re: Looking for help with SDRplay and Ubuntu

>> The lilbusb -6 error means that a driver has already grabbed the USB port, so the RSP API cannot get access to it. Yeah, that's what I thought too. But it really doesn't explain why the SDRPlay is working in GNU Radio but it is not working in GQRX! Presumably the other drivers are there for some ...
