Hi,

thank you for the exciting project.

I would just like to add that there are issues on Linux when the rtl* kernel modules are loaded. The kernel modules take over the RTL-SDR device so that the USB device can no longer be accessed.

The USB error is as follows:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Unable to open SDR device!: Usb(Busy)'

The module can be temporarily unloaded as follows:

sudo rmmod rtl2832_sdr
sudo rmmod dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
sudo rmmod rtl2832
sudo rmmod rtl8xxxu

Regards,
Jiri
