[Discuss-gnuradio] Last step in GNURadio - SDRPlay install

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

Hello guys,

After trying to get SDRPlay connected to GNURadio in Windows (up till now unsuccessful and request sent to SDRPlay) I've been busy getting it to work in Ubuntu.

Well, I think I'm nearly there after trying many suggestions found on several sites :-)

Below is the result of starting GRC with a simple osmocom-source and WX-FFT GUI, the 'hello world' of gnuradio, so I'm told. In this case, the hardware device is an SDRPlay.

The FFT screen comes on screen, but is not displaying any FM-band signal, and no noise floor is visible.
What's missing??

Kind regards,
Arie PA3A
