My mini works great with SDR Console and Cubic. I have had it working with gqrx at times. First I had trouble getting it going under Windows, but then and an antenna selection mysteriously appeared. Selecting that antenna got it working with no problem. Now, however, I see no antenna listed and it isn’t working at all (nothing seems to start, no audio, no graphs of any kind do anything.
Now every time I try to start it gives me a warning to edit the configuration (it now wants to default to a limesdr mini specific configuration with a more complete device string of driver=lime,index=0,media=‘USB 3’,module=FT601,name='LimeSDR that came up as a default (I didn’t enter it).
It also will not start under Ubuntu VirtualBox either. The problem with that appears to be that the USB device for the radio isn’t starting even though VirtualBox is setup for the mini.
It seems like the only difference between the times it works and the times it doesn’t is that when it works I am able to select an antenna, and when it doesn’t no antenna is listed. I have no idea why the antennas were listed but they aren’t now.
Any help getting going with either the Ubuntu/Virtualbox environment or Windows would be appreciated. I know I must have changed something in the software environment, but it isn’t obvious where to look.
