Scan and record frequency on Raspberry Pi with RTL-SDR?
I need something similar. I've already tried GQRX with this plugin https://gitlab.com/khaytsus/gqrx-scan . It works but the speed in comparison with SDR# is very poor. Any other solution?

Radically different noise levels of different software and other noise reductions
Download the https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog or https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr version instead. Even try both, since there may be differences.

rtl_tcp for HF frequencies?
Give https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr a try?

Running rtl_power?
I should have mentioned, I'm using this fork of the librtlsdr library, which contains a slightly different version of rtl_power with some extra features, and apparently the "-D" option is treated differently in the version I'm using. The forked version allows you to set a specific branch using the "-D" option, as described below:
-
RTL SDR linux driver with full control.
There are a few variations of librtlsdr, f.e. this fork; https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr which adds features that aren't available in the version used in most Linux distributions. This adds some extra features and output that are really useful (most notably, regular output of max, min, mean power levels and noise floor). It also has some extra functions to fine tune signals.

Listen to DMR for free
Linux, librtlsdr and this port of DSD. FWIW, this port of DSD is newer and also has a Windows binary.
-
WBFM and nrsc5 using lightweight tools
Next I moved onto try feeding the output of rtl_sdr (from https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr) to nrsc5 and that worked well!

You have an older librtlsdr; I'm using the GitHub version, which adds extra features; https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr

'rtlsdr_set_bias_tee' not found
Thank you for your reply, I have tried it with the 'static' from the official GitHub https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr/releases , but the error remains? Do you mean an even newer version?
- command line tool to search for local FM stations?

would I get worse performance by buying this nooelec clone instead of the real thing? the real thing is 10 bucks pricier and it also comes with a remote which i don't see myself using. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/RTL-SDR-Receiver-Antenna-RTL2832U-Software-blue/dp/B094ZJ3VVN/
github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr may be worthy to check out.
