Zadig Requirements are not in readme.md

It appears installing an rtl-sdr in sdr++ requires adding a usb driver with zadig. However, users are not told this in the readme for installation.

This is a requirement for any software using the RTL-SDR on windows, refer to the documentation of the RTL-SDR. I do not cover any hardware setup in the readme.

I do understand your point, however a quick comment even linking to that page saying it is required or a comment saying that the RTL-SDR needs to first be set up would go a long way.

All of RTL-SDR's setup guides are for using SDR#, which makes it seem like it is specific to SDR# compared to SDR++. Any clarification in the readme would be extremely helpful.

I started SDRpp with all Windows versions. After switching to Linux many months ago, never thought of it..that I have to dealwith Zadig.

Remembering Zadig installs WinUSB drivers. Hence we are using Linux, why the need to Zadig is not required on Linux...

Bye
