Many thanks to the responders ! I'm set up and rocking, thanks
especially to some help from the folks at rtl-sdr.com. The VCV Rack
module is great fun so far, using a sequencer to randomly scan the

I'm having problems getting audio from the gqrx program but I'm just
getting started here, I'll figure it out soon enough.

Definitely having fun !

Best,
