Re: v3.7 End of Maintenance

[Franco VENTURI]

Glen,
for SDRplay devices you should be able to use the gr-soapy OOT module 
(https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/gr-soapy), that should work with GNU 
Radio >= 3.8.
There was a post by Chris Vine to this mailing list about this approach less 
than two months ago 
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2021-10/msg00000.html).

If you have any technical problem with the SoapySDRPlay module, I'll be happy 
to help.

Franco
