According to the description, Funcube Dongle should be supported:

built-in source types: file rtl rtl_tcp uhd hackrf bladerf rfspace airspy soapy redpitaya

Possibly related to gnuradio-fcdproplus [1] being moved to AUR. Please note gnuradio-osmosdr is currently orphaned.

Different hardware (FCD != FCD+)

Either description should be changed to supported devices or it should be recompiled with Funcube support:

Funcube_Dongle through libgnuradio-fcd
e.g.:
https://github.com/dl1ksv/gr-funcube


FUNcube Dongle Pro+ through gr-fcdproplus
as you mentioned here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnuradio-fcdproplus

And for both devices: (FCD and FCD+)

As already mentioned there is no Arch maintainer. Have CC'd some PMs of related pkgs, but this is more than likely destined to rot.

Thanks for the information.

Yes, I know there is no Arch maintainer and a gr-osmosdr maintainer is needed, too.
"The gr-osmosdr project is looking for a (team of) new maintainer[s]"

And building the entire suite from scratch will end up in a dependency hell.
That's not an easy job.
