SOLVED: rtl_sdr 'unknown package'

I ran okkg update then;

$ opkg install rtl_sdr
Unknown package 'rtl_sdr'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package rtl_sdr.

I wanted to install this on my 21.02.3-ramips-mt300n-v2 router: openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/rtl-sdr

Does it mean it's not available for my specific version of openwrt?
If I have to compile it, then I guess I'm out of luck unless there is somewhere I could ask someone to do it for me?

what is the output of the following:

ubus call system board

Minus, not underscore.

rtl-sdr - 0.6.0-3 - rtl-sdr allows DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U to be used as an inexpensive SDR. This package contains the utilities and daemons.

Good catch. I looked it up earlier and entirely missed that the op had used an underscore!!

Oh crap, I didn't even think of using a dash. My really bad!
Works like a charm.

Thank you :).
