Just released the new SoapySDRPlay3 0.8.9 package that works with SDRPlay API v3.15. The new package is available from the OWRX+ repository. Prior to upgrading, make sure you download and install the API. Changes:

- Added support for RSPdxR2 devices from Franco.
- Rebuilt 64bit packages with SDRPlay API v3.15.
- PLEASE, UPGRADE YOUR SDRPlay API

...in related news, SoapySDRPlay3 0.8.9 is now also available for 32bit Debian systems, such as Raspberry Pi. You will still need to use SDRPlay API v3.07 though. Please, let me know if it works with the newer SDRPlay devices, such as RSP1B and RSPdxR2.

...and there is also this...
