All,

I was able to successfully get the Airspy R2 to run in op25 on an Ubuntu 18.04 VM on VMWare Workstation Player-15 using the work around procedure pointed out in

~iain posts.

On my machine the Airspy device was found as follows;

I125: USB: Found device [name:OpenMoko\ AIRSPY vid:1d50 pid:60a1 path:1/0/0 speed:high family:vendor instanceId:USB\\VID_0E0F&PID_0001\\AIRSPY_SN:03A464C8373E4F67 serialnum:AIRSPY_SN:03A464C8373E4F67 arbRuntimeKey:4 version:3]

I then added the following line to my VMWare Virtual Machine Configuration file to complete the work around procedure.

usb.quirks.device0 = "0x1d50:0x60a1 skip-reset, skip-refresh, skip-setconfig"

Trunktracker,

You now have reference to a fix that works and has been tested with VMWare Workstation Player, else you can move to Oracle VirtualBox and build your Ubuntu VM on that platform.

Here is a screen capture of op25 with my Airspy R2 running on the VMWare Workstation Player VM.
