Good afternoon,

I bought the SDR R820T2 (you can see it on:  
[http://www.amazon.com/NESDR-Mini-Compatible-Packages-Guaranteed/dp/B00P2UOU72](http://www.amazon.com/NESDR-Mini-Compatible-Packages-Guaranteed/dp/B00P2UOU72))  
and now I have to configure my Gnuradio to use with my SDR.  
Do you know the steps to do it? I found some websites, but they seem a  
little confuse.  
Please, It would be great if someone could help me. Thanks a lot.

Hi Pedro,

i dont know about your linux distro or the way of your gnuradio  
installation.

You need the gr-osmosdr package for the RTL block in gnuradio. You have  
to blacklist the dvb\_usb\_rtl28xxu module in your modprobe configuration.  
This are the basics in a short for driving RTL sticks in gnuradio.
