RSPdx and gqrx on Fedora 36

[sfe...@gmail.com]

Today I arrived with a succesful build and installation of my RSPdx and gqrx on a brand new Fedora 36. 

As there are some special things to taken into account on Fedora I post my notes here, maybe it's gonna be helpful for somebody else.

Start again gqrx with -r to reset the configuration

gqrx -r 

Maybe you would need to "Scan for Devices" to get it listed. 

Good luck!
