Thanks, Dave, Bob, Franco.

Using the syntax Dave specified above, radiod starts, brings up the RX888, downloads it, and says that it has started streaming. VID=0x04B4 VID=0x00F3.

Now it's time to start learning monitor, et al....

PS: I tried SImon Brown's SDRConsole V3.2 on WIndows 10 on this same computer but it is not able to discover the RX888 MkII plugged

<div>
into the same USB3 connector.. The SDR Console build number is sufficiently current that the instructions say it should work.

Windows does not see my RX888 MKII enumerate at all.
