SDRPlay device notes

General

SDRPlay currently provides two major versions of their driver ("API") for Linux on their website: versions 2 and 3. Most of the devices currently available are supported by both versions, with the exception of the RSPDx which requires version 3 explicitly.

Only the OpenWebRX Raspberry Pi images and the OpenWebRX docker images come with the driver preloaded, if you're installing from packages you will need to install both the driver and the SoapySDRPlay module manually.

SoapySDR

There is multiple versions of the SoapySDRPlay module available, depending on the SDRPlay API version the following ones are recommended:

• For API version 2, please use https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDRPlay
• For API version 3, please use https://github.com/SDRplay/SoapySDRPlay
