Larry, just an update on the Linux build.  WinSDR is working great within Wine.  
I haven't found any flaws with the exception of the time stamps on the left side of the 
UI.   The time appears to be ahead by 6 or 7 hours of local.  I thought it might be a utc issue, but I don't think so.  

Has this already been addressed and I missed it in the threads?

Thanks for any info

I'm running WinSDR on a Raspberry Pi under Wine, and I do not see this problem. The UTC and local time are displayed
correctly. Make sure you have the timezone set correctly on the Linux system. If you type "date" in a command-line box,
the system should return the correct local time. If the system returns UTC or some other time other than local time,
then the timezone is not set correctly.

Hi,

What distro of Linux are you using? I also don't have this problem and I've been running WinSDR in Linux with Wine with normal computers and within a Virtual Machine. This sounds like a time zone issue setting with your distro. You should be able to fix this by going into your GUI and find the time zone settings. WinSDR also requires that special settings for both local time and UTC in System settings in it.

Best regards,
Jón Frímann

Well, don't ya know.....    You mean I had to change the setting from utc to local?   What a rookie mistake.  
I kept looking in the system settings instead of the display settings.  Onward we go.  It's working great.  

Thank you both.  And Jon, Linux Mint to answer your question.  

Larry, I cannot tell you how much I have appreciated what you did for the community with WinSDR and the
hardware.  Not to mention the other software.  Thanks tons.

Jim in Arizona is who helped me get this working, and to him as well, many many thanks.
