Hi all,

just a short notice on installing UHD 3.9.7 LTS on ubnutu. Instead of
compiling the source code you can add the EttusResearch UHD LTS repo and
install UHD similar to https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_install.html:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ettusresearch/uhd-3.9.lts
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libuhd-dev libuhd003 uhd-host

Best regards,
David
