I'm running sdrtrunk v0.6.1 on my Intel MacBook Pro with an SDRPlay RSP1B plugged in to
a USB-A hub.

SDRConnect connects to the tuner unfailingly.

However, many/most times I run sdrtrunk it shows there is no tuner available.

The log shows that sdrtrunk discovers the tuner, then says "Unable to start RSP streaming - device may have been unplugged - removing."

I've attached the log.

Generally it will find the tuner if I restart sdrtrunk enough times.

David P suggested I try it without the USB hub, which I didn't do
originally because I lacked a handy USB-A/USB-C adapter.

A sensible idea.  I found an adapter and tried it without a hub.
sdrtrunk connects every time.  Strangely, when connected this way, my
comparison SDR software, SDRConnect, can't find the RSP1B.  Since I'd
like to use both programs, I guess I'll live with the minor
inconvenience of having to run sdrtrunk a few times before it finds the SDR.
