Re: RTL-SDR v3 dongle support

[Jeff Long]

gr-osmosdr and rtl-sdr are 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)?
