the message "osmosdr source_c creation failure" suggests the SDR device
isn't being seen by scope.py.
To rule out hardware and/or driver and/or permission issues let's have you first run
the osmocom_fft app to test and verify basic SDR connectivity...
also scope.py wants a frequency (even a dummy frequency) such as scope.py -f 858.7e6. I
highly recommend adding a sampling rate (-S) and offset (-o) as well as a correction for
PPM drift (-q). This should be enough to get tuned to the trunk CC as a first step...
