     * This class provides a Funcube Dongle control block by wrapping
     * th USB HID control interface of
     * the Funcube Dongle into one convenient source block.
     *
     * The Funcube Dongle needs to have firmware 18f or later for the
     * control interface to work properly. As of early 2011, FCDs
     * still come with firmware 18b. You can use qthid 2.2 (not 3) to
     * upgrade the firmware: http://qthid.sf.net
