Glen - for you 1,000,001st path, use GNU Radio 3.8, install the OOT gr-soapy and SoapySDRPlay (uses SDRPlay's API 3).

Hi All,

I  am  new to GNU   Radio…..   only  about   two  years  in  and  I    love it……    a  few   comments.

I  am    retired  Physics   and  E.E.     I   ru n    GNURadio Version   3.10 on  Ubuntu   20.10     I  have had  very  good  experiences   with the   tu torials  by  Barry  Duggan……   They  worked !
But    switched back  to GNURadio 3.9xx   and    things   broke…….    Is  this  normal?   

Thank  you   all  for  a   wonderful    DSP  platform.
