Hi Arie,

ah, ok, now that we know where you've got your windows installation from:

As far as I can read Geof's table, the gr-osmosdr component compiled
into that package does *not* have SDRPlay support. One would need to
re-build the library and link it against the SDRPlay API DLL to make it
work.

So unless you want to take the big dive and compile that gr-osmosdr DLL
yourself (which I must admit I'd assume pretty much only Geof could help
you with, as I'm absolutely no expert on the build process behind these
binaries, I'm afraid), this won't work.

As far as I understand (but I'm not a lawyer), the SDRPlay library is
closed source and hence can't be linked to GPL code (like GNU Radio and
gr-osmosdr) and then be distributed, so Geof's hands are tied here.

Best regards,
Marcus
