I'm pleased to say that I was able to instance Ubuntu 24.04.x Server LTS  onto a dedicated Acer Ryzen 5 2500U 32GB with Radeon RX GPU PC that *should* perform adequately. 

After satisfying the many dependencies for this new instance, I was able to bring an RTL-SDR V4 online for testing and successfully compile and install ka9q-radio. 

The only component that I lack confidence acquiring is the RX888 SDR. The Amazon source seems somewhat expensive. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

That is great you made it that far!

The amazon prices look about how I would expect them to ($200-$300):
