Re: v3.7 End of Maintenance

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.
