Thank you Jeff.
1. I did not realize that I was replying off the list. This time I did a
reply all and I hope that should fix the
location to the list.
2. I greatly appreciate your response and believe that I made a mistake in
saying version 3.8.2 of
gnuradio. It is the automatic version that I installed using apt-get
on Ubuntu 20.04. Probably
3..8.1.? and I think the ? represents a further refinement. I do not
know for sure. (I know not
that of which I speak)
3. I never knew that gr-osmosdr and rtl-sdr were installed automatically
with apt-get. I do have a
hackrf radio and I will at some point pursue gr-osmosdr using gnu
radio as well as rtl-sdr.
I truly appreciate your guidance and thank you for that.
regards
Jerry (VE3OBX)

[Please keep discussion on the mailing list]
The rtl-sdr package does not depend on the version of gnuradio.
Ubuntu 20.04 currently packages gnuradio 3.8.1. Installing that brings in
gr-osmosdr and rtl-sdr automatically when you use
apt install gnuradio
If you have gnuradio 3.8.2, then the answer depends on how you installed
it.
There is more information on GNU Radio installation here:

1. Is there a version of gr-osmosdr and rtl-sdr available for gnuradio
version 3.8.2 that comes as a package
that could be loaded to 3.8.2 using a form of sudo apt-get?
2. If such is available could you kindly provide the exact "sudo apt-get
...." that would load it.
3. Would the point 2. above automatically bring in any required drivers
for Ubuntu 20.04?
4. If the answer to 3. is no could you kindly provide any required details
on obtaining and loading the
drivers.
Thank you in advance.

gr-osmosdr and rtl-sr dare used by GNU Radio, but they are maintained by
the Osmocom project. Distributions may call something 0.6.0 but actually
use the latest code. Some RTLs, like the Smart Tee have the bias tee turned
on permanently. There is also a rtl_biast application that comes with
recent rtl-sdr versions.

Hello
Now improved RTL-SDR dongles are widely available, according to sellers'
notice they support bias tee and direct conversion. So far rtl-sdr driver
has
support for bias tee for some time, but the last tag 0.6.0 is quite old
and
does not have this.
Some distributions tend to stick to releases/tags of packages, so they
still
have rtl-sdr-0.6.0 without bias tee support.
Is there a chance to have new tag of rtl-sdr (if the bias tee support is
finished)?
