As a quick followup to my previous post, I confirm that the R820T is well
suited for GPS
signal decoding. I was not expecting the huge frequency offset (> 100 kHz at
1.57 GHz) and
was not searching far enough from the expected carrier frequency during the
acquisition phase.
However these results were acquired by runnig rtl_sdr -s ... -f ... while
gnuradio-companion
running gr-osmosdr is unable to lock at 1.57 GHz and barely locks (for a few
seconds !) at
1.56 GHz. I have analyzed the various version of librtlsdr (used by rtl_sdr and
by gr-oscmocom)
as well as the set_frequency functions and am unable to track any difference
between the two
codes (so far).

The R820T is generally flaky above about 1550MHz. Maybe in your
rtl_sdr tests, you just got lucky.
gr-osmosdr uses the *SAME* underlying library as rtl_sdr, and at the
level of Gnu Radio, all of the low-level stuff like
"is the PLL locked" is utterly invisible to the Gnu Radio layer.
