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 
frequencies is a Cageian blast. :)

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,
