Description:

I'm not sure if this is a bug in the package or something else. But I noticed that Sigdigger didn't find the RTL-SDR stick until I installed soapyrtlsdr. If Sigdigger requires it in order to use the RTL-SDR, it should be listed as a dependency or optional dependency.

Additionally, Sigdigger was not added to the KDE applications menu. It has to be started from command line or you must manually add it to the menu.


Additional info:
* sigdigger version: 0.1.0-1
* soapyrtlsdr version: 0.3.0-2

Steps to reproduce:
* Install sigdigger and standard RTL-SDR drivers using pacman
* Plug in the RTL-SDR, open Sigdigger, check if it finds the RTL-SDR
* Install soapyrtlsdr and open Sigdigger again
This task depends upon
