Hi Bob,

I remember now, one other thing I needed to do was add my user account to the dialout 
group. So try something like this:

sudo adduser your_user_name dialout

If that does not work do a google search on "dialout group permissions". There seems 
to be several ways to add a user to a group so you may need to try different commands 
for your version of Linux.

One way around all of this is to run as root and reinstall WinSDR. If you do this you 
will need to start from scratch since Wine will create a new .wine directory under 
the root home directory.

Regards,
-Larry
