Description-en: RTL-SDR device support for SoapySDR (default version)
The Soapy RTL-SDR project provides a SoapySDR hardware support module.
Using this, any program using SoapySDR to interface to software
defined radio hardware can make use of low cost DVB-T/DAB+ USB dongles
based on the Realtek RTL2832U chip as receivers.
.
This is an empty dependency package that pulls in the RTL-SDR module
for the default version of libsoapysdr.
