I am using qtcsdr on my and it is working fine. However, I have not gotten rtl-sdr to work on any of my other Linux machines. Can I install qtcsdr on another Linux distribution and use it just to receive?

While qtcsdr will only transmit on a Raspberry Pi, it will work as a receiver on a desktop machine / laptop that runs Linux and has all the dependencies installed. (You can leave the --rpitx switch then.) The dependencies should compile from source if there is cmake and libusb available on the machine. You will also need the following: 

nmap qt5-default qt5-qmake git libfftw3-dev
